Ghanaian forward Ernest Nuamah put on a dazzling display as Olympique Lyon thrashed Steaua Bucharest 4-0 to book their place in the Europa League quarterfinals.
Nuamah, who has been in fine form, made it back-to-back games with a goal after netting twice in Lyon’s dominant performance.
His first came in the 37th minute, making up for earlier missed opportunities—one striking the post and another going off target. This time, he made no mistake, slotting home to give Lyon the lead.
The 20-year-old doubled his tally in the 88th minute, connecting beautifully with a cross from Georges Mikautadze to put the result beyond doubt. Lyon’s emphatic 7-1 aggregate win sees them comfortably move into the next stage of the competition.
With his confidence soaring, Nuamah will be eager to carry his form into Lyon’s upcoming fixtures as they chase European glory.
