In the 46th-minute stoppage time in the first half, Lookman received a long-range pass down the left flank and pushed the ball forward after getting past some oncoming defenders before latching a right-footed shot in the left bottom corner of the post.
Before that, Lookman delivered an accurate cross from the left flank onto Mateo Retegui whose bullet header secured a 1-1 equaliser for the home team.
Meanwhile, Nigerians flocked to the social media site to praise one of their own, with some labelling him as the next African Best Player.
One tweep, Boluwaji Jegede, tweeting as #TheBoluSport, wrote, “First of his name! King of Bergamo! Next to the iron throne of CAF Golden baller of the Super Eagles.”
Another X user, JJ. Omojuwa, tweeting as #Omojuwa, wrote, “Far and away. Up and above. African Footballer of the Year. Ademola Lookman!”
