Nigerian youngster Mubarak Suleiman delivered a sensational performance as SK Slavia Praha defeated Zbrojovka Brno 4–0 in the Czech Cup round of 16 on Tuesday night, October 27, 2026.
The 19 year old was the standout performer, scoring twice to help Slavia book their place in the quarter finals and end a run of four competitive matches without a victory.
Suleiman leads Slavia’s charge
Slavia Praha started with the intention of controlling the game, but the breakthrough came in the 28th minute when Suleiman got on the end of a delivery from the back to put the hosts ahead.
The Nigerian midfielder continued to make his presence felt, showing his attacking instincts and ability to arrive in dangerous positions.
Just before half time, Wiktor Nowak converted a penalty to give Slavia a comfortable 2–0 lead at the break.
David Jurásek extended the advantage in the 63rd minute, putting the hosts firmly in control. But Suleiman was not finished.
In the 85th minute, he struck again after being set up by Mojmír Chytil, completing his brace and putting the finishing touch on a convincing team performance.
A big night for Nigerian football
Suleiman’s two goal display was another encouraging milestone in his development at Slavia Praha. The young midfielder has already attracted attention after becoming the first Nigerian teenager to start a UEFA Champions League match since Alex Iwobi in 2016.
Performances like this will strengthen his growing reputation and give Nigerian football fans another young talent to follow closely in European football.
Slavia will now turn their attention to the quarter finals, while Suleiman will hope to build on this performance and continue earning opportunities with the first team.
