The two talented Nigerians were among the goal scorers as their respective clubs powered to wins in Russia and Spain, Soccernet.ng reports.
Chidera Ejuke returned to Moscow from making his Super Eagles debut in Austria to find the back of the net as CSKA Moscow claimed a brilliant 3-1 win at home to Dinamo Moscow on Sunday afternoon.
The former Heerenveen winger made it 2-0 for Viktor Goncharenko’s side in the 54th-minute after Kuchaev had opened the scoring three minutes earlier.
Moro reduced the deficit for the visitors shortly after. Still, Diveev’s 67th-minute effort sealed CSKA’s second win since their heart-breaking 1-0 loss to bitter rivals Lokomotiv Moscow at the end of September.
Ejuke now has two goals in six matches for the Russian giants.
In Spain, Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala netted her first goal of the league season to lift Barcelona Ladies to a fantastic 6-0 victory at Recreativo Huelva.
Oshoala opened the floodgates of goals for the Spanish champions after just five minutes, with Hamraoui, Alexia Putellas, Mariona Caldentey, Hansen, and Bruna Vilamala adding gloss to the scoreline.
It’s Barcelona’s third consecutive 6-0 win in recent days, which started with the crushing of Sevilla in the Copa de la Reina ten days ago, a game that saw Oshoala bag a brace.
The reigning African Women Footballer of the Year, however, did not found her target when Barcelona whipped Logrono by a similar scoreline last weekend.
Three huge wins, 16 goals scored and none conceded see Barcelona set the pace at the top of the Primera Division Femenina table.
