Round up of the Nigerian players that were on target for their foreign clubs on Sunday, October 28.

One-cap Norway international Ohi Anthony Omoijuanfo ended a five-month goal drought after opening the scoring in the 58th minute of Stabaek's 1-1 away draw at Bodø / Glimt, taking his tally to seven goals in 27 matches in the Norwegian Eliteserien in the process.

Remaining in the Norwegian topflight, Ifeanyi Matthew and Lillestrom face a relegation battle with three rounds left after losing 3-2 to Ranheim at the EXTRA Arena.

The former Flying Eagles midfielder closed the scoring in the 83rd minute.

Samuel Adegbenro scored his first goal for Rosenborg since March 2018 as they recorded a 2-1 win against Brann.

The left winger had been on the sidelines for six months due to an ankle injury and returned to action three weeks ago.

Adegbenro struck in the 14th minute to open the scoring for the favorites for the title.

A division lower, Kongsvinger's Shuaibu Ibrahim has now been involved in 21 goals (14 goals, 7 assists) in 27 league matches for the playoff hopefuls after netting a 90th minute winner against Jerv at J.J. Ugland Stadion - Levermyr (Grimstad).

The 21-year-old Ibrahim is owned by FK Haugesund but has been loaned out to Kongsvinger until the end of the 2018 season.

In the Swedish Superettan, Chisom Egbuchunam helped Falkenbergs FF to claim a 3-0 win vs Värnamo at Falcon Alkoholfri Arena by opening and closing the scoring. He was on target in the 6th and 66th minute.

The former Enugu Rangers man has scored 13 goals in 24 games this term.

Ex-Nigeria U17 striker Yusuf Otubanjo scored in the 58th minute of LASK's 3-3 draw with Red Bull Salzburg in an Austrian Bundesliga tie at TGW Arena . He was on the pitch for 81 minutes before he was substituted.

In the Swiss Super League, Stephen Odey found the net in the fourth minute of stoppage time in FC Zuerich's 3-2 loss to FC St. Gallen 1879.

He was yellow carded three minutes before he tallied his eighth of the season and provided the assist for his team's first goal.

Chigozie Udoji scored for the second game running but could not prevent Enosis Paralimni from losing 4-1 to AEL Limassol in the Cypriot First Division.

In the 23rd minute, he headed in to make it 1 - 0 at Tsirion Stadium.

Japan U23 striker Ado Onaiwu's 42nd minute goal from the penalty spot (21st goal in 39 games) was enough to secure three points for Renofa Yamaguchi against Tochigi at Ishin Me-Life Stadium.
