Tella and Ejuke Shine in Victories for Leverkusen and Sevilla
Nathan Tella and Chidera Ejuke both made significant contributions to their teams, Bayer Leverkusen and Sevilla, in matches held on Saturday. Tella, a Super Eagles winger, came off the bench in the 65th minute and scored just four minutes later, helping Leverkusen secure a 4-0 victory against Wehen Wiesbaden in the first round of the DFB Pokal.
Patrik Schick opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, followed by Lucas Vazquez's goal two minutes into the second half. Victor Boniface remained an unused substitute during the match.
Leverkusen will next face Elversberg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, August 29. In Spain, Chidera Ejuke returned to Sevilla's lineup, scoring a remarkable chip over Unai Simón in a 3-1 win against Athletic Club.
Ejuke was reinstated to the squad after negotiations for a transfer to Anderlecht fell through. Athletic Club was reduced to 10 men early in the match, and despite a late goal from Aitor Paredes, Sevilla maintained their lead.
