Super Eagles players Wilfred Ndidi and Ademola Lookman made a record in their Europa Conference League games against Randers on Thursday as Ndidi became the first Nigerian to score in the tournament and Ademola Lookman became the first Nigerian to be given two assists in the game.
Nigerian international Wilfred Ndidi opened the floodgate of goals in the 23rd minute of the game with a side-footed finish from Ademola Lookman’s pass. It was his first goal in the competition. However, Vito Hammershoej-Mistrati levelled for Randers against the run of play, but Harvey Barnes restored the lead with a turn and clever finish.
Patson Daka added a third and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall slotted home after good work by Kelechi Iheanacho, who came on as a substitute for Daka in the 64th minute. The chances continued to come, as the English Premier tier League side recorded 23 shots in the game, and they will rarely have an easier night in Europe. The winners of this tie face one of the Europa Conference League group winners in the last 16.
