Given his form, it will be difficult for Chelle to drop the former Luton Town man from his final squad. However, it was a disappointing outing for Moses Simon, who came off the bench in Nantes‘ 1-0 loss to Strasbourg. Belgium Like Osho, Jordan Torunarigha is pushing for a spot in Chelle’s World Cup qualifiers squad, and he strengthened his case with a solid defensive display in Gent’s 1-0 win at Antwerp. Raphael Onyedika, fully recovered from injury, started for Club Brugge and impressed in a 3-1 derby win over Cercle Brugge. Elsewhere, Promise David, a former Nigeria youth international considering a switch to Canada, scored twice to inspire Union Saint-Gilloise to a 3-0 win over Standard Liège. Greece Super Eagles left-back Bruno Onyemaechi made his full debut in the Greek Super League and impressed as Olympiacos secured a 1-0 win over OFI. In the Super League 2, Samson Obioha grabbed a consolation goal for Ethnikos Neo Keramidi in a 2-1 loss to PAOK II. India In the Indian Super League, defender Stephen Eze featured for Jamshedpur, but it was Daniel Chima who stole the show, scoring twice and providing an assist as Chennaiyin thrashed Jamshedpur 5-2. Chima equalized in the 25th minute, assisted Lukas Brambilla’s goal just before halftime, and rounded off the scoring in the 96th minute to cap a brilliant individual performance. Kazakhstan In the Kazakhstan Premier League, Chinedu Geoffrey opened his season’s account, scoring in Astana’s 2-0 away win over Kyzyl-Zhar. The 27-year-old netted seven goals in ten league matches last season and will be hoping for another strong campaign. Moldova Rasheed Akanbi continued his red-hot form, scoring his fifth goal in two games to lead Sheriff Tiraspol to a 3-0 victory over Spartanii Selemet. Serbia Bamidele Yusuf was the hero for Vojvodina, scoring the matchwinner in the 73rd minute to secure a 1-0 triumph over Jedinstvo at Stadion Karađorđe, Novi Sad. Yusuf now has 11 goals in 25 league games this season and sits joint second in the Super Liga scoring charts, five goals behind Red Star Belgrade’s Pape Cherif Ndiaye. Turkey New Super Eagles invitee Anthony Dennis featured in Goztepe’s 3-1 defeat at Sivasspor, where his side played much of the match with ten men.
