Arokodare Scores, Provides Assist As Ajax Beat Atalanta 2-Nil In Conference League

Nigerian forward Tolu Arokodare maintained his red-hot scoring form, coming off the bench to inspire Ajax to a 2-0 victory over Atalanta in the UEFA Conference League.

Arokodare broke the deadlock in the 87th minute before turning provider for Abdellah Ouazane, who sealed the win with a stoppage-time strike.

The victory handed the Amsterdam side their first three points in the competition after opening their European campaign with a disappointing 2-1 defeat away to Hajduk Split last week.

The Nigerian international has now registered eight goals in nine appearances across all competitions for the Dutch club, underlining his growing influence in front of goal.
