After helping the club to a comprehensive win at home to Novi Pazar when he kicked off the season with an assist, the 28-year-old finally superbly got off the mark with a brace on the road.
Both goals were scored in a blistering two first-half minute to hand Zvezda also known as Red Star Belgrade a comfortable lead heading into the break.
)
The home side pulled one goal back after the break but that did not dampen Olayinka and his teammate who went on to score two more goals, including a gift from their hosts courtesy of an own goal.
Nigeria’s Olayinka reacts to display
After his latest match-winning performance for the Serbian giant, Olayinka, who continues to be overlooked by Super Eagles and Nigeria took to his social media to react.
)
“Jesus is king,” he posted on his official X.com account as he gave all his gratitude to his maker.
The wide forward who made Pulse Sports 30 for the 2023/24 season completed 92% of his passes, one cross, and one take-on, and won seven duels and one tackle in the match which he featured from start to finish.
)
Olayinka has established himself as a key player for the Serbian giant since he joined ahead of last season as a free agent from Slavia Prague.
The Nigerian proved to be a reliable source of goals as he contributed 11 goals and four assists to help Zvezda to a domestic double.
However, he looked destined to leave the club after just one season as reported by Pulse Sports but despite the window still open, he looks set to stay at the club.
While it is left to be seen if this form - two goals and an assist in just two matches - will convince his employers to hold tight to him, Red Star will be banking on their Nigerian superstar when they travel to Norway for the crucial Champions League qualifiers against Bodo/Glimt.
