The second round first leg games in the UEFA Champions League saw Belgium side Genk draw 1-1 against Swiss side Servette in one of the games of the night, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Former Nigeria U17 forward Tolu Arokodare opened his goal account for the season by scoring the lone goal for the Belgium side following up his goal at the weekend, when they secured a shock 2-0 win over Burnley in a pre season game.

Signed in January from second division French side Amiens as a replacement for his fellow Nigerian Paul Onuachu who moved to Southampton, the member of the 2016 Nigeria U17 team broke the deadlock in the game with the opener in the 21st minute.
