Nathan Tella was on the scoresheet for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga tie against Union Berlin.
Bayer Leverkusen forward Nathan Tella has expressed his joy at scoring against Union Berlin, considering it a great way to head into the international break, Soccernet.ng reports.
The former Southampton forward, who recently earned his first call-up to play for the Super Eagles in the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Zimbabwe, found the net in Leverkusen’s 4-0 victory.
Scoring in the Bundesliga clash, Tella conveyed his happiness for securing his first league goal and sees it as a positive reminder to Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro of his qualities as a winger heading into the Nigeria clash.
“Great way to go into the international break. Happy to score my first Bundesliga goal,” he shared on his X (Formerly Twitter) feed.
The 24-year-old made a ten-minute cameo appearance, replacing Jeremie Frimpong when Leverkusen was 3-0 up, showcasing his threat as he sealed the victory with a goal.
Tella connected with a pass inside the box, leaving Frederik Ronnow helpless as he fired home into the right corner to make it 4-0.
As Tella gears up for his Super Eagles debut, he aims to build on this performance in Nigeria’s upcoming World Cup qualifying clashes against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
