  "account": "Tolu Arokodare, the 25-year-old Super Eagles striker, has joined the remarkable 100-goal club, expressing gratitude for the journey and divine intervention that led him to this milestone. Arokodare scored twice for Ajax in their 2-0 UEFA Conference League victory over Atalanta at the Johan Cruijff Arena on Thursday, coming on as a substitute in the 66th minute and breaking the deadlock in the 87th. The Nigerian international, who has also scored for Valmiera, Amiens, Genk, Wolves, and Nigeria, joined Ajax on a season-long loan from Wolves in the summer. Arokodare now has eight goals for the Dutch club. This win marked the end of Ajax's eight-match losing streak against Italian clubs and their first points of the Conference League league phase following a defeat to Hajduk Split. Ajax coach Míchel Sánchez revealed that he introduced Arokodare to create more threat in the penalty area, stating that the player's return contributed to the team's improvement.",
