Fisayo Dele-Bashiru continued his impressive form as a super-sub, scoring his fifth goal of the season in Lazio’s commanding 5-1 victory over Monza in the Italian Serie A. Introduced in the 65th minute, Dele-Bashiru made an impact two minutes before full-time, adding the fifth goal to seal a dominant performance. The midfielder’s season tally now stands at five goals and two assists across all competitions, further solidifying his importance to Lazio’s campaign.
Adding to the family’s successful weekend, his older brother, Tom Dele-Bashiru, also found the back of the net for Watford in the English Championship. Lazio currently sit in fourth place on the Serie A table with 45 points from 24 matches, firmly positioned in the UEFA Champions League qualification spots.

Dele-Bashiru’s ability to influence games off the bench speaks volumes about his skill and tactical awareness. His late goal against Monza is not just a statistic it’s an embodiment of Lazio’s depth and the growing contribution of young Nigerian players in Europe. We see Dele-Bashiru as a player whose development has been steady, and his current form indicates he’s becoming an asset that Lazio can rely on in critical moments.
What makes him effective is his adaptability. Whether creating scoring chances or exploiting defensive lapses, Dele-Bashiru has consistently shown an understanding of when and how to strike. However, we believe that for him to reach his full potential, Lazio’s coaching staff should consider increasing his game time. Transitioning from a super-sub role to a consistent starter could help him evolve into a major force in Serie A.
The fact that both Dele-Bashiru brothers found the net this weekend is more than a coincidence—it’s a testament to their shared footballing prowess. As their respective clubs push for success, fans of Nigerian football can take pride in seeing homegrown talent thriving on the global stage. With determination and proper management, Fisayo could soon establish himself as a key player not just for Lazio but also for the Super Eagles.
This weekend’s performance was a statement Dele-Bashiru’s growth is far from over.
