Chidera Ejuke scored his first La Liga goal for Sevilla in a 1-0 victory over Real Valladolid. The Nigerian winger capitalized on a defensive error in the 85th minute, securing vital points for Sevilla. This performance signals Ejuke’s potential as a key player for the team this season.
Chidera Ejuke, the Nigerian winger playing for Sevilla, marked a significant milestone by scoring his first goal in La Liga during a match against Real Valladolid. Ejuke, who joined Sevilla on a three-year contract from CSKA Moscow after an impressive loan at Royale Antwerp, had previously appeared six times for the team without finding the net.
In a tightly contested match, Ejuke made a crucial impact by scoring the winning goal in the 85th minute, capitalizing on a defensive blunder from Valladolid. He skillfully placed the ball into the net from close range, securing a vital three points for Sevilla.
Kelechi Iheanacho, another Nigerian player, also participated in the match, coming on as a substitute for Valladolid. However, he was unable to contribute significantly, with his attempts falling short. Ejuke’s standout performance will be a confidence booster as Sevilla prepares to face Athletic Bilbao in their upcoming fixture. Meanwhile, Iheanacho will be looking to find the back of the net for Valladolid in future matches after joining the club. This goal not only highlights Ejuke’s growing prominence in the Spanish league but also reinforces his position as a key player for Sevilla in the ongoing season.
