Nigeria midfielder Raphael Onyedika played a vital role for Club Brugge, contributing significantly to an important victory for the team.
On Saturday afternoon, Onyedika's deft touch helped Club Brugge clinch a hard-fought 2-1 win over KVC Westerlo at Het Kuipje in the Belgian Pro League.
The Super Eagles star, fresh from a challenging situation in Libya, aimed to help his team bounce back after a disappointing 1-1 draw against Union St. Gilloise in their previous match.
Raphael Onyedika performance vs Westerlo
Onyedika's return was marked by an immediate impact, as he set up Jorne Spileers for the opening goal just four minutes into a contest that ended in a 2-1 victory for Club Brugge.
Onyedika was substituted nine minutes before the final whistle, making way for Hugo Vetlesen after an impressive 81 minutes on the pitch.
The 23-year-old's performance was commendable as he pulled off over 55 touches, 37 successful passes, and two shots on goal.
He also demonstrated defensive strength, winning one tackle and four ground duels, alongside five recoveries.
Following this latest victory, Raphael Onyedika and his teammates find themselves in third place with 18 points, just four behind league leaders Genk.
The team will now prepare for their upcoming Champions League clash against Milan. The squad will surely remain determined to build on this momentum in the league, where they have achieved five wins, three draws, and three losses in 11 matches.
