Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho was named in the starting line-up as Sevilla lost away to Leganes 1-0 on Saturday night.

Xavier Garcia Pimienta’s side have been largely inconsistent this season and once again, they were unable to impose their dominance on the match. Leganes capitalized on their opportunities and delivered a spirited performance that stunned the visitors with Miguel De La Fuente slotting home a penalty in the 83rd minute.

This latest result leaves Sevilla 13th on the log with just 15 points from 13 games.

Kelechi Iheanacho will join up with his international teammates for the AFCON qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
