Tolu Scores Twice Against Tanzania
Tolu Arokodare came off the bench to score two goals and secure a 3-1 victory for Nigeria against Tanzania during the international break, Voetbalzone reported.
Akor Adams of Venezia and star player Ademola Lookman started as the two forward players for The Super Eagles, leaving Tolu on the bench at kickoff.
Without Tolu on the pitch initially, Nigeria and Tanzania remained deadlocked at 1-1. Alhassan Yusuf scored the opening goal for Nigeria after receiving an assist from Lookman.
Ajax Forward Enters After the Break
Tolu stepped onto the pitch after halftime and needed just five minutes to score his first goal of the match. He broke away from his direct opponent and found the net with a clever backheel behind his standing leg to make it 2-1.
The Ajax striker netted his second goal of the game when a cross arrived from the left side. He controlled the ball and shot through the legs of the goalkeeper to bring the score to 3-1.
That 3-1 scoreline held until the final whistle, doubling Tolu’s international goal tally. He had scored two goals in his twelve previous appearances for Nigeria, while already finding the net thirteen times for Ajax.
