Ilenikhena’s first strike in the 25^th minute was made in Nigeria as he was set up by Folarin Balogun, who also has Nigerian roots.

It was a classy finish by the 17-year-old striker.

He had his left knee heavily strapped from the start and was replaced after the first half.

It was a bright start for teenager, who cost Monaco a tidy 20 Million Euros when they signed him from Belgian club Antwerp last week.
