Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke has etched his name in Sevilla FC's history books, becoming the first Nigerian player to score a goal for the Spanish club in an official match, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigeria international made a crucial strike that helped Sevilla secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.
The Nigerian forward, who joined Sevilla from CSKA Moscow following an impressive loan stint with Royale Antwerp, finally opened his La Liga goal account after six appearances under manager Garcia Pimienta.
In the 85th minute, Ejuke capitalised on a defensive error from Valladolid, calmly slotting the ball into the net from close range to break the deadlock and secure Sevilla's second league win of the season.
Reflecting on his historic achievement and the teams performance, Ejuke expressed his delight.
