Nigerian striker Victor Olatunji helped Sparta Prague advance to the Czech Cup quarter-finals with a 3-0 victory over Dukla Praha. The defending champions secured their place in the next round after a dominant display in the round of 16 tie.
Olatunji entered the match in the 65th minute and made an immediate impact. Softfootball notes that he scored just 60 seconds after coming on, although a previous goal was disallowed for a foul. His late strike in the 88th minute capped off a strong performance for the Nigerian forward, who has been in excellent form recently.
This goal adds to Olatunji’s impressive tally following a standout UEFA Champions League campaign.
