Nigerian winger Nathan Tella celebrated his 100th appearance for Bayer Leverkusen with a key contribution in a 2-1 victory over 1. FC Köln in the Rhine Derby on Saturday. Tella provided the assist for the decisive goal, setting up Patrik Schick early in the second half to help Leverkusen secure all three points and strengthen their push for a UEFA Champions League place. The milestone appearance was marked before kickoff, with the 26-year-old recognised for reaching a century of competitive matches for the club. He made an immediate impact after the break, delivering a precise cross that Schick converted to extend Leverkusen’s lead. Speaking after the match, Tella described the achievement as a proud moment, adding that contributing to a derby victory made it even more special. His journey to the milestone has not been without challenges. The winger endured a difficult spell earlier in the 2025–26 season, missing significant time through knee and foot injuries. However, since returning to full fitness in recent weeks, he has gradually re-established himself in the squad under manager Xabi Alonso. In a further boost for the player, Leverkusen recently extended Tella’s contract until 2031, underlining the club’s confidence in his long-term role. Sporting director Simon Rolfes praised his work ethic and importance to the team. The victory over Köln leaves Leverkusen firmly in contention for a top-four finish in the Bundesliga, with only a few matches remaining in the season. As the campaign enters its final stages, Tella’s return to form could prove crucial for the club’s European ambitions, while also boosting his chances of further involvement with Nigeria’s national team.
