Tijani features in Plymouth’s FA Cup fairytale
Plymouth Argyle produced one of the biggest FA Cup shocks in recent history, stunning quadruple-chasing Liverpool with a 1-0 win at Home Park to reach the fifth round.
Two Nigerians featured for the Championship side—Matthew Sorinola, who started at wingback, and former Nigeria U20 forward Muhamed Tijani, who came on for the final 18 minutes.
Ryan Hardie scored the match-winning penalty early in the second half, etching his name into club folklore. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Conor Hazard delivered a heroic performance, making several crucial saves to keep Liverpool at bay.
The Pilgrims showed remarkable defensive discipline, denying the Premier League leaders clear-cut chances for over an hour.
Sorinola, despite being booked for a foul on Diogo Jota in the 78th minute, put in a resolute display. Tijani nearly added a second in stoppage time, only for his header to be blocked by Harvey Elliott.
Plymouth’s triumph is the first time since Wigan’s famous win over Manchester City in 2018 that a non-Premier League side has eliminated the English top-flight leaders.
Dele-Bashiru on target as Lazio thrash Monza in Serie A
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru did his confidence a world of good with a late goal as Lazio cruised to a 5-1 victory over Monza at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Super Eagles midfielder came off the bench in the 65th minute and made an immediate impact, netting Lazio’s fifth goal in the 88th minute—just moments after Monza’s Stefano Sensi had pulled one back.
The dominant win also saw Adam Marušić, Pedro, and Taty Castellanos get on the scoresheet, further solidifying Lazio’s push for a UEFA Champions League spot.
Dele-Bashiru’s strike was his third Serie A goal in 16 appearances this season. Though he initially struggled after his summer move from Hatayspor, he is beginning to find his rhythm.
His performances in the UEFA Europa League have been particularly impressive, with two goals and two assists helping Lazio secure a place in the Round of 16.
