Nigerian striker Victor Olatunji, currently playing for Sparta Prague in the Czech Republic, delivered yet another standout performance despite being overlooked by Austin Eguavoen for the Super Eagles squad during the recent international break.
Olatunji opened the scoring for Sparta Prague in their match against Dukla Praha, putting his side ahead with a crucial goal.
However, his efforts weren’t enough to secure victory as Dukla equalized deep into stoppage time, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.
Despite the disappointment, the 23-year-old striker continues to shine.
According to Opta, he recently made history as the first Nigerian to score and assist on his Champions League debut, a feat that underscores his quality and potential.

Eguavoen’s Decision Under Scrutiny
Austin Eguavoen’s decision to leave Olatunji out of the Super Eagles squad has raised eyebrows, particularly in light of Nigeria’s recent performances—a draw against Benin and a loss to Rwanda.
Many fans and pundits have questioned why a player in such fine form wasn’t given the opportunity to contribute.
Sparta Prague’s Campaign
Olatunji’s contributions have been vital for Sparta Prague, who are currently fourth in their league as they aim to secure a European berth for next season.
His consistent performances may make him impossible for both his club and national team selectors to ignore moving forward.
