In the Italian Serie B, former Nigeria U23 star Umar Sadiq made it three goals in six matches by scoring in Perugia's 4-2 loss to Benevento at Stadio Renato Curi.
With 12 minutes gone, the lanky striker blasted the ball into the net after a corner kick was not properly cleared by the Benevento defense.
Sadiq's other goals this season came against Venezia and Salernitana.
Another Nigerian striker suffered a loss with his team despite finding the net in the Italian second-tier as Padova were beaten 2-1 by Carpi at Stadio Sandro Cabassi.
Jerry Mbakogu fired home from inside the box after he was set up by Lorenzo Lollo in the 12 minute.
The Lagos-born striker was on the books of Carpi for five years before mutually parting company with the club in August 2018.
