In a dazzling show of will and firepower, Rafiu Durosinmi stole the spotlight at Letna Stadium when he grabbed a brace and assist as Viktoria Plzen decimated Zlin over the weekend.
The Nigerian sensation delivered a jaw-dropping performance to lead Viktoria Plzen to a resounding 7-1 victory in the Czech First League.
The forward scored not just one but two goals, orchestrating an assist that left fans echoing his name.
The match began with Tomas Chory breaking the deadlock just four minutes in, setting the tone for Plzen’s dominance.
However, a critical moment arrived when Jakub Cernin was shown a red card, reducing Zlin to ten men.
FC Viktoria capitalised on this advantage, with Pavel Sulc netting a quick brace within five minutes and Pavel Bucha adding a fourth before halftime.
The second half showcased Durosinmi’s brilliance, as he secured his own brace within 8 minutes to further extend his team’s lead.
Jan Kliment contributed to the onslaught, sealing the 7-1 victory. Though Vukadin Vukadinovic managed to salvage one goal for Zlin, the damage was irrevocable.
Durosinmi’s exceptional performance raised his season tally to 3 goals and 3 assists in just 7 league matches.
Viktoria Plzen’s remarkable win propelled them to 4th place in the Czech league table with 16 points from 7 games.
Meanwhile, their defeated hosts languished at the bottom with a mere four points from eight games.
As Viktoria Plzen basks in this triumphant moment, they now turn their attention to the Europa League group stage, where Durosinmi and his teammates are poised to carry their newfound momentum into the clash against Ballkani on Thursday.
Rafiu Durosinmi is surely another hot striker prospect for the Super Eagles.
