The duo of Karim Adeyemi and Noah Okafor played varying roles in helping their side RB Salzburg to a comprehensive 5-1 win over Sturm Graz in Matchday 25 of the Austrian Bundesliga.
18 year old Adeyemi was on for the entire duration of the game and bagged an assist for Hee Chang Hwang’s goal. His speed and tricks proved too much for the opponents as he tormented them. In the process of trying to stop the German-Nigerian, Graz’s Isaac Donkor got red-carded for a tackle that caught the Salzburg player late.
Adeyemi is a German youth international which means he is still eligible to play for Nigeria at senior level and if he maintains his current form it won’t be long before Germany and Nigeria will contest for his international future.
On the other hand, Swiss-Nigerian, Noah Okafor who has already played for Switzerland at senior level was sent on in the 66th minute and he operated down the right flank. Since joining from Basel in the winter, he has scored two goals with an assist to his name.
The result consolidated Salzburg top position on the table, amassing 33 point from 25 games. The defending champions will take on Wolfsberger AC in their next game.
