How players of Nigerian descent fared in the German Bundesliga on Sunday, June 7.<\/p>\n

Super Eagles striker Anthony Ujah bagged his first assist of the season as Union Berlin were held to a 1-1 draw by Schalke 04 at the Stadion An der Alten F\u00f6rsterei (Berlin).<\/p>\n

Eleven minutes into the contest, Ujah kept control of a loose ball and passed to Robert Andrich who fired past goalkeeper N\u00fcbel, but they were denied three points after Jonjoe Kenny equalised for the Royal Blues.<\/p>\n

While Ujah was in action for 78 minutes, teammate Suleimen Abdullahi was a non-playing substitute for the third time this season.<\/p>\n

Super Eagles hopeful Noah Sarenren-Bazee put in an impressive 90-minute shift as Augsburg held out for a 1-1 draw against Cologne at WWK Arena, his second consecutive start in as many games.<\/p>\n

Bazee was a threat down the right flank and won a penalty for his side in the 27th minute but Niederlechner failed to convert.<\/p>\n

Per whoscored.com, the Augsburg number 17 completed a game-high four dribbles, was the most fouled player on the pitch (5) and won the most aerial duels (6).<\/p>\n

The two other German-born Nigerian players that started the game, Augsburg’s Felix Uduokhai and Cologne’s Kingsley Ehizibue, logged ninety minutes.<\/p>\n

Ehizibue returned to the starting lineup after he was an unused substitute in the previous match vs RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n

Anthony Modeste scored for the visitors five minutes from time, only for Philipp Max to restore parity with two minutes left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
