Chuba Akpom made history by scoring on his Ligue 1 debut for Lille in their match against Le Havre. The Nigerian forward became the fourth player from his country (Nigeria) to achieve this feat, joining Moses Simon, Victor Osimhen, and Terem Moffi.
Reports gathered by Softfootball shows that he came off the bench to make an immediate impact.
Chuba Akpom started the game on the bench but was introduced after halftime, replacing Osame Sahraoui.
Although Lille trailed 2 – 0 due to goals from Koka and Issa Soumare, the former Arsenal academy graduate managed to pull one back for his team deep into stoppage time.
The late goal provided a small consolation for Lille, who ultimately lost the match 2 – 1. Chuba Akpom is currently on loan at the French club from Ajax, and his instant contribution highlights his readiness to adapt to the demands of top – flight French football
