Super Eagles forward Nathan Tella scored for the first time in this ongoing UEFA Champions League season.
Tella scored on the final day of the league format as Bayer Leverkusen beat Sparta Prague 2-0 at the Bay Arena on Wednesday night.
The 25-year-old has been getting consistent game time recently and he rewarded Xabi Alonso’s faith in him with a goal on the night.
Nathan Tella scored from a rebound in the box on the 64th minute as he rifled the ball into the middle of the net to double Bayer Leverkusen’s lead.
German winger, Florian Wirtz gave the home side the lead in the first half with a one-time shot from Jeremie Frimpong’s sublime cross.
Nigerian striker Victor Olatunji was quite decent on the night as he registered a shot on target even though his team lost and crashed out of the competition.
Bayer Leverkusen finished as one of the top eight teams which earned them an automatic spot into the round of sixteen of the competition.
