Nigerian striker Stanley Iheanacho continued his exceptional pre-season form, delivering a goal and an assist to rescue a 2-2 draw for FC Midtjylland against Swedish side Malmö FF.

Introduced as a second-half substitute with the Danish outfit trailing by two goals, the 21-year-old completely re-energized his team’s attack at the Eleda Stadium following early strikes from Oscar Sjöstrand and Adrian Skogmar.

The clinical forward initiated the fightback in the 69th minute, reacting sharpest inside the penalty area to blast home a loose ball from a corner kick.

With momentum firmly on their side, Iheanacho turned provider late in the match, driving forward to tee up Senegalese starlet Abdou Aziz, who bypassed the Swedish defense to slot home a dramatic equalizer and preserve Midtjylland’s unbeaten pre-season run.
