Europa League: Rafiu Durosinmi the hero as FC Viktoria Plzen dump out Ferencvárosi TC
Nigerian striker Rafiu made sure FC Viktoria Plzen advanced into the next round of the Europa League despite losing the first round by a goal margin to Ferencvárosi TC, the 22-year-old assisted and scored one in the 3-0 home victory as they advanced into the round of 16, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Head coach Miroslav Koubek was full of praises for the striker's impact while also highlighting key areas he needs to work on to properly develop into an all-around, complete striker.
"Rafiu is excellent in the penalty area. He has a goal instinct, he can find the right place and get to the ball. However, his lack in the middle game and combination component is still visible.
"He is far from his top level yet. But if he scores two goals in 60 minutes of play, we will definitely not complain", he added.
Rafiu and Plzen have been drawn against SS Lazio where he will clash with compatriot Dele Bashiru in the round of 16 of the Europa League on March 6 in Pilsen.
