A scintillating performance from Nigerian striker, Salim Fago Lawal in the colours or NK Istra against NK Lomotiva in the Croatian top- flight league game on Sunday has earned him a slot in the team of the week in Croatia.
Lawal scored in the 45th minute of the game to put his team in a commanding 2-0 advantage going into the break .The In-form striker had a commanding presence all through the game that ended 2-1 in favour of the visitors from Istra.
Lawal was indeed a tormentor against the defenders of NK Lomotiva all through the time he lasted on the pitch before he suffered a knock and was replaced in the 58th minute but his display was good enough to be voted into the team of the week in Croatia.
The former Flying Eagles striker has continued to develop his game since joining NK Istra in August, 2023 and this latest feat in Croatia will propel him to continue to work harder.
Recall Lawal has been on the radar of some clubs in Europe because of the quality of his game for NK Istra.
