Chidera Ejuke's brilliance rescues a point for Sevilla
Nigeria Super Eagles midfielder Chidera Ejuke earned a point for Sevilla in their Spanish La Liga match day 8 encounter on Sunday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Ejuke created the late equalizer in the away league 1-1 draw at Athletic Club at the San Mames.
20-year-old Mikel Jauregizar gave Athletic Club the lead with his shot which beat Ørjan Nyland via a little deflection in the 35th minute.
Sevilla tried coming back into the game Ejuke forcing Agirrezabala into a save within the first minute. Lukébakio was the next player to come close to scoring, but his effort ricocheted.
Goalkeeper Agirrezabala was shown a straight red after obstructing the striker in a goal-bound situation, giving a one-man advantage to the Visitors.
With more intensity, Gudelj had a free kick tipped over by Padilla before Ejuke raced into the penalty area in the third minute of added time.
His cross was deflected onto the crossbar and an unfortunate ricochet saw the ball in the back of the net courtesy of the replacement keeper.
The draw leaves Sevilla in 13th position after 8 matches with 10 points while Athletic Club is 4th with 21 points.
