Super Eagles forward, Ahmed Musa, was an unused substitute as Leicester City kept up their 100% record on their Champions League debut on Tuesday night.
A neat flick by Riyad Mahrez late in the first half sufficed for the English debutants to produce their third victory in Group G and open up a five-point lead over second-placed FC Copenhagen.
The match ended Leicester City 1-0 Copenhagen.
A repeat success in Denmark’s capital in a fortnight would rubber-stamp Leicester’s round of 16 ticket.
Musa has had an indifferent start to life in England since he completed his £18m transfer from CSKA Moscow during the summer.
In the group’s other match, Club Brugge lost 1-2 at home to Porto
André Silva converted a penalty deep in added time to take Porto level with FCK in second and keep Club Brugge without a point.
The Belgian champions had been in front until Miguel Layún equalised with 22 minutes to go; Jelle Vossen had got Brugge’s first goal in the group early on.
Bayer Leverkusen dominated but could find no way past Hugo Lloris in goal for Tottenham Hotspur as the home side recorded their third draw in Group E.
At the other end Vincent Janssen hit the bar for Spurs, still a point in front of third-placed Leverkusen.
CSKA Moscow and Monaco played out a 1-1 draw.
Igor Akinfeev came within three minutes of his first UEFA Champions League clean sheet since 1 November 2006, a 40-match run, only for Bernardo Silva to take that wretched spell past the decade mark.
On-loan Lacina Traoré had scored against his parent club but Monaco remain top and CSKA in fourth, albeit only split by three points.
Defending champions, Real Madrid, were comfortable 5-1 winners at home against Legia Warsaw in Group F.
Legia gave as good as they got early on, but they are still without a point while Madrid moved on to seven.
It went from 0-0 to 2-1 in a seven-minute first-half period as Gareth Bale’s superb finish and a Legia own goal were countered by Miroslav Radović’s penalty.
Marco Asensio made it 3-1 before the break and Lucas Vázquez and substitute Álvaro Morata did the rest.
Sporting CP of Portugal lost 1-2 at home to Germany’s Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund joined Madrid on seven points, four clear of Sporting, as first-half goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Julian Weigl proved enough for victory despite Bruno César pulling one back from an indirect free-kick inside the box after a back pass.
Another Dortmund win next time would confirm their progress.
Lyon lost 0-1 at home to Juventus in Group H.
Substitute Juan Cuadrado’s excellent angled drive with 14 minutes left gave ten-man Juventus victory and a four-point cushion over third-placed Lyon.
Gianluigi Buffon saved a first-half penalty from Alexandre Lacazette and then, after Mario Lemina’s 54th-minute dismissal, the Juve veteran denied Nabil Fekir in even more brilliant style.
Dinamo Zagreb also lost 0-1 at home to Sevilla in the group’s other match.
Samir Nasri’s 38th-minute strike kept Sevilla level with Juve on seven points and condemned Dinamo to a third defeat without a goal.
A home win against Dinamo for Sevilla would send them through and end any possibility of a fourth straight UEFA Europa League title.
Leicester City, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Sevilla have closed in on the round of 16.
