Fisayo Dele-Bashiru made a significant impact in Lazio’s resounding 3-0 victory over Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League, announcing his return to the starting lineup in style. The Nigerian midfielder, who had been benched for Lazio’s previous two matches, seized the opportunity to showcase his talent, not only scoring a goal but also providing an assist that helped guide his team to an emphatic win on Wednesday night at the Volksparkstadion.
As the game progressed, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru took center stage. In the 34th minute, after receiving a perfectly timed pass from Matias Vecino, Dele-Bashiru surged into Dynamo Kyiv’s penalty box and unleashed a powerful shot into the top corner, doubling Lazio’s lead and leaving the Kyiv defense in disarray.
Shortly after, Dele-Bashiru turned provider, delivering a precise cross for Boulaye Dia, who headed the ball into the net, securing Lazio’s third goal and all but sealing the win. Dynamo Kyiv struggled to find a response, with Lazio’s defense remaining solid and preventing any significant threat throughout the second half.
Dele-Bashiru, who played an advanced midfield role, was a constant menace to the Kyiv defense. He completed 30 passes, won key duels, and made crucial tackles, showcasing his all-around ability and work rate. His tireless performance, both in attack and defense, was vital to Lazio’s dominant display.
The 23-year-old’s night came to an end in the 79th minute when he was replaced by Tijjani Noslin, but his contribution was more than enough to ensure Lazio’s victory. After an impressive Europa League debut, Dele-Bashiru will be looking to build on this momentum in the coming games.
