Nigeria’s Victor Boniface could leave Bayer Leverkusen for Al Nassr this window after a big-money bid from the Saudi Pro League.
Tella, who scored his first goal in the Champions League, found the back of the net in the 64th minute, doubling Leverkusen’s lead after Florian Wirtz opened the scoring in the 32nd minute.
The Nigerian forward has been an important player since joining the club in August 2023, and his performance was crucial in this important match.
Nathan Tella scored his first goal in seven matches in the Champions League this term.
Despite a valiant effort from Sparta Prague, who threatened with another Nigerian forward Victor Olatunji, they were unable to penetrate Leverkusen’s solid defence or capitalise on their chances.
The German champions’ clinical finishing proved too much for the visitors, ensuring a comfortable victory.
Florian Wirtz and Frimpong celebrate the opener.
With this win, Leverkusen, who were without Victor Boniface, continue their impressive run in European competitions and will now look forward to facing one of the top eight teams in the next round.
Their fans will eagerly anticipate what challenges lie ahead as Leverkusen aim to make a significant impact in this year’s tournament.
