Two young Nigerian forwards, James Bello and Rafiu Durosinmi<\/a>, played starring roles as Viktoria Plze\u0148 thrashed lower-league side Sokol Lan\u017ehot 6-1 in the Czech MOL Cup on Tuesday night, Soccernet.ng reports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Bello, who only joined Viktoria Plze\u0148 B from Nigeria\u2019s Right2Win Football Academy last year, marked the occasion with his first competitive goal for the senior side.<\/p>\n The 20-year-old striker struck in the second half to extend the visitors\u2019 lead, as he continued his rapid progress in Czech football.<\/p>\n Bello had already impressed in the club\u2019s B team, netting twice and providing three assists in just four games this season.<\/p>\n His numbers last term were equally eye-catching: eight goals and five assists in 18 matches during his adaptation campaign.<\/p>\n With two senior league appearances already under his belt this term, Tuesday\u2019s strike was further proof that Bello is settling well into life at the top level.<\/p>\n Get Our Sports News First \u2013 Join Our WhatsApp Channel Now!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Compatriot Rafiu Durosinmi, a graduate of Box2Box FC in Lagos, also got on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old forward, who came close to leaving Plzen<\/a> this summer, netted the club’s fifth goal of the evening. It has been a bright start to the season for Lazio-linked Durosinmi<\/a>, who has already registered six goals in 12 appearances in all competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Durosinmi\u2019s athleticism and sharp finishing have quickly made him one of Plze\u0148\u2019s attacking spearheads.<\/p>\n The Nigerians weren\u2019t alone in making headlines.<\/p>\n Captain Mat\u011bj Vydra opened the scoring from Bello\u2019s clever assist before Christophe Kabongo doubled the lead.<\/p>\n Though the hosts briefly reduced the deficit from the spot before half-time, Viktoria\u2019s dominance was never in doubt.<\/p>\n Karel Sp\u00e1\u010dil added a third early in the second half, Bello grabbed the fourth, Durosinmi the fifth, and Tom\u00e1\u0161 Ladra rounded off the rout with a spectacular long-range strike.<\/p>\n For Plze\u0148, the result means smooth passage into the next round of the MOL Cup.<\/p>\n Durosinmi and Bello will look to make similar impact when Viktoria Plzen make the trip to face Sparta Prague<\/a> on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/DujduCWl1LGbjt05GD_I4GoKoDs=\/750x500\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fsoccernet.ng%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F09%2Fimago1065468318.jpg\")
