Super Eagles midfielder, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru made a dream UEFA Europa League debut for Lazio, scoring his first goal and providing an assist in a 3-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.
This new system, like the Champions League, features only one major league table and each team plays eight different opponents, four at home and four away.
The top eight teams advance automatically, while 9-24 advance to the play-offs and 25-36 are eliminated.
Lazio opened the scoring just five minutes into the game, with Dia netting the first goal after a give-and-go with Pedro.
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru then made his mark in the 34th minute, capitalizing on a defensive error to blast the ball into the roof of the net, doubling Lazio’s lead.
Just moments later, Dele-Bashiru delivered a cross that allowed teammate, Dia to score a header, putting Lazio firmly in control at 3-0.
The match saw Dynamo Kyiv reduced to ten men after a controversial red card for Maksym Braharu, followed by another harsh dismissal for Noslin shortly after entering the match.
