The Super Eagles defenders both saw gametime on Sunday as the Spanish top flight minnows got their first point on the board against Valencia
Last weekend’s 3-0 defeat by Villarreal had left Mauricio Pellegrino's Leganes bottom of La Liga after four games in which the Cucumber Growers had failed to register a single point following four defeats.
Even though it's early in the season, alarm bells were ringing on the outskirts of Madrid ahead of the showdown with Valencia this weekend.
The malaise Pellegrino’s side found themselves was buttressed by the fact they have been playing badly at both ends of the pitch; they’d conceded seven goals before this weekend, while scoring just once, the least in the division.
