Nigerian forward Rafiu Durosinmi continued his scoring streak as Viktoria Plzeň stormed into the next round of the Czech Cup with a dominant 6-1 victory over Sokol Lanžhot.
While Durosinmi delivered yet another goal, his compatriot James Bello was on a brilliant side with his man-of-the-match performance that saw him score a goal and provide an assist.
James Bello shines as Viktoria Plzeň take control
The evening belonged to Bello, who played a crucial role in Plzeň’s emphatic win. He provided the assist for Matěj Vydra’s 8th-minute opener before doubling his own contribution with a fine strike in the second half.
Bello’s display was a big statement, marking his first two direct goal contributions of the season.
By halftime, Bello’s creativity and quick thinking had already tilted the game in Plzeň’s favour, ensuring that the hosts were chasing shadows throughout.
Not to be outdone, Durosinmi grabbed his second consecutive goal for Viktoria Plzeň, scoring the team’s fifth of the night.
The 22-year-old has now netted four goals in seven appearances this season, continuing from where he stopped last season.
His ability to keep delivering in crucial games has boosted Viktoria Plzeň’s attack, with Durosinmi’s pace and positioning proving too much for Lanžhot to handle.
Bello and Durosinmi lead the charge in Czech Cup
The Nigerian duo were at the heart of Plzeň’s dominance. Bello’s early involvement gave Viktoria Plzeň the perfect platform, while Durosinmi’s finishing touch ensured the rout was complete.
With Bello breaking into form with his first competitive goal contribution and Durosinmi maintaining his scoring run, Viktoria Plzeň will take confidence into their upcoming league clash against Sparta Prague.
Unbeaten in their last five matches, Plzeň look set to continue their momentum, with their Nigerian stars hoping to lead the charge once more.
