Boniface present as Chidera Ejuke’s Sevilla fall to Barcelona again

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface traveled to Spain to watch his compatriot Chidera Ejuke as Sevilla fell to a 4-1 defeat against Barcelona at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, Soccernet.ng reports.

Sevilla welcomed Barcelona for the second installment of their La Liga clash on Sunday. Los Nervionenses currently have two Nigerians on their books, but Akor Adams missed the tie due to an injury while Ejuke started from the bench.

Just before the game started, Bayer Leverkusen star Boniface shared a video of the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Then, after the game, Boniface shared a picture of himself with Ejuke and their agents.

Barcelona dominated the first half of the encounter, with Robert Lewandowski giving them the lead after just seven minutes. However, just seconds later Sevilla pulled one back courtesy of Ruben Vargas.

The game remained like that until the break. But Barca switched it up a notch in the second half. And they were rewarded, as Fermin Lopez and Raphinha both scored in the first ten minutes to give Barcelona a 3-1 lead.

Unfortunately, their momentum reduced after Lopez got sent off for a bad tackle in the 61nd minute. Just a minute later, Ejuke was introduced into the game.

The Nigerian replaced Vargas, but he was unable to pepper the Barcelona backline. Known for his immaculate ability to dribble, he was on the receiving end this time, with Lamine Yamal and Jules Kounde dribbling past him on multiple occasions.

He was unable to do much in the end, as Eric Garcia added the fourth goal for Barcelona in the 89th minute to ensure that it ended 4-1 after 90 minutes.

Ejuke has to pick up the pace soon
