The lanky striker, who put in a full shift, doubled the advantage just before the hour mark.

Kano-born Austria U21 attacker Chukwubuike Adamu celebrated his first goal in Red Bull Salzburg colours as they defeated FC Admira Wacker Modling 1-0 in an Austrian Bundesliga clash at the BSFZ Arena.

The 20-year-old, who was very prolific for Salzburg's underage teams prior to his first-team promotion, netted the game-winning goal eight minutes from time after coming off the bench.

Nigeria youth international Ibrahim Aliyu bagged a brace in NK Lokomotiva's 4-0 rout of NK Istra 1961 in the Croatian First League.

The Flying Eagles striker scored in the 31st minute to give his side a two-goal lead and put the game out of the reach of the visitors by netting with almost the last kick of the half.

Things are going well for Aliyu Yakubu at the moment. The 22-year-old has now scored two goals in three games after finding the net as AFC Eskilstuna thrashed Norrby 4-1 at the Tunavallen.
