Dele-Bashiru Shines as Lazio Beat Ajax 3-1 in Europa League
Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru scored as Lazio came from behind to win 3-1 against Ajax in a thrilling Europa League match at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam.
Ajax took the lead with a goal from Loum Tchaouna, but Lazio quickly responded after the break with a goal from Bertrand Traore to level the score. Just five minutes later, Dele-Bashiru put Lazio ahead again, and Pedro Rodriguez sealed the victory with another goal 13 minutes before the final whistle.
This win lifted Lazio to the top of their Europa League group, moving ahead of Athletic Club. It also continued their strong form, having recently beaten Serie A leaders Napoli.
Dele-Bashiru, on loan from Hatayspor, has not had many chances to play this season but made the most of his opportunity, scoring a key goal for his team. This performance will give him more confidence as Lazio aims to stay strong in both Serie A and the Europa League.
Next, Lazio faces defending Serie A champions Inter Milan in a crucial match. Dele-Bashiru and his teammates will hope to carry their momentum into that game and stay at the top of the table. For now, though, all the praise goes to Dele-Bashiru and his big performance in Amsterdam
