Victor Olatunji made history on his UEFA Champions League debut after scoring in Sparta Prague's victory over RB Salzburg.

The impressive Nigerian forward found the back of the net just before halftime inside the epet Arena stadium in Czechia.

Kaan Kairinen opened the scoring for the hosts as early as the second minute of the encounter, while Qazim Laci sealed the win in the 58th minute.

The Cable reports that Olatunji has become the first Nigerian to score and assist in his UEFA Champions League debut.

The 25-year-old received a pass from Filip Panak and took a one-time strike, despite the acute angle to open his goals account on Europe’s biggest stage.

He also created his side's third goal after he set up Qazim Lazi to extend his team’s lead.
