UEL, Conference League wrap: Ajax's Akpom, Anderlecht's Edozie, Cercle Brugge's Olaigbe find the net

Allnigeriasoccer.com's round-up of the Nigeria-eligible players who scored for their respective clubs in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) and Conference League on Thursday, October 24. 

At the Azersun Arena, Ajax Amsterdam made it two victories and a draw in the league phase of the Europa League, thrashing Qarabag 3-0. 

Former Arsenal striker Chuba Akpom entered the game as a substitute just before the hour mark and wrapped up the scoring in the 77th minute when he finished off a move he started.

The Ajax number 10 started the move with a run from the halfway line, and exchanged passes with Godts before slotting into the net.

Southampton loanee Samuel Edozie inspired RSC Anderlecht to a 2-0 win against Bulgarian opponents Ludogorets at Lotto Park.

Midway through the second half, the England youth international opened the scoring when he pounced on a rebound and struck with his right foot 

In the UEFA Conference League, Southampton academy product Kazeem Olaigbe took his tally for the season to five goals in all competitions but his goal counted for nothing as Cercle Brugge were beaten 3-1 by Icelandic club Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur.

Sixteen minutes into the contest, the Belgium U21 international broke the deadlock, assisted by Kévin Denkey,

It was a remarkable result for Vikingur as goals from Sigurpalsson, Djuric and Vatnhamar saw them become the first-ever Icelandic team to win a European group or league-stage game
