Nigerian striker, Noah Abolaji Salaudeen, continued his sensational 2026 form in Lithuania, scoring twice as O.G. Kaišiadorys thrashed FK Šumskas 5-2 away from home.
The goal-poacher was at his clinical best in the first half. He opened the scoring from the penalty spot before adding his second of the afternoon to give Kaišiadorys a 2-1 lead at the interval.
Salaudeen also proved too hot to handle for the Šumskas defence. A home defender picked up two yellow cards for two separate fouls on the Nigerian forward and was sent off. Šumskas were later reduced to nine men after another second-yellow offence.
With the numerical advantage, O.G. Kaišiadorys took full control after the break. Nedas, Matas and Lukas Tatarunas all found the net to seal an emphatic 5-2 victory.
The brace takes the Nigerian forward’s tally to extraordinary heights this season.
