Billings, Adeboyejo, Ajagun Scores, Sanusi Decent: How Nigerians Fare On Wednesday By Omolagba Oluwayemi There were football actions all across the globe on Wednesday with Nigeria-eligible players getting involved, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Super Eagles defender Zaidu Sanusi featured for all 90 minutes to help Porto extinguish AC Milan’s slim UEFA Champions League hopes with a 1-1 draw at the San Siro on Wednesday evening. The draw takes Porto to five points and leaves AC Milan with a point and all but out of the running for a knockout round qualification. A win for Atletico Madrid at Liverpool will see the Serie A giants eliminated from the competition with two games left. Meanwhile, former Nigerian youth international Abdul Jeleel Ajagun was the hero as Cape Town City edged Chippa United 1-0 at the DHL Stadium, Cape Town, in their South African Premier Soccer League faceoff on Wednesday. Ajagun’s goal is his first of the season, coming in his seventh appearance of the league campaign. The Port Harcourt-born ace found the back of the net four times in eleven games for the same side last term. Philip Billing now has a goal involvement of eight (6 goals and 2 assists) in fifteen appearances after his goal on the hour mark against Preston. The central midfielder restored parity for the Cherries with a left-footed shot into the bottom corner but they fell behind again in the 78th minute. Elsewhere, at Oakwell Stadium, Nigerian-born center forward Victor Adeboyejo opened his account for the season to help Barnsley secure a 2-1 win over Wayne Rooney's Derby County.
