Iyayi Atiemwen opened his NK Lokomotiva account with a second-half strike in Monday’s 3-1 away victory over HNK Gorica.
Since his loan move from Dinamo Zagreb to the Croatian topflight side, the Nigerian had gone five games without any success in front of goal.
Against the hosts, however, the 24-year-old delivered a sense of relief in the 62nd minute after his side had gone down nine minutes earlier to Matthew Steenvoorden’s strike.
Nevertheless, victory was guaranteed for Lokomotiva when Myrto Uzuni’s brace in the last 15 minutes ended Gorica’s ambition of earning maximum points.
