The three Nigerian stars were actively involved as their respective clubs book their places in the knockout stage of the Europa League on Wednesday evening.
Molde claimed a fantastic 2-1 victory in Austria against Rapid Wien with forward Leke James instrumental to that fine win.
The Nigerian attacker gave the telling final pass which Magnus Eikrem converted inside the first 12 minutes of kick-off that handed the visitors the lead inside the Allianz Stadion.
An interesting game saw chances pop up at either ends but it was Ritzmaier who got on the score sheet just before halftime to equalize for the home side.
But Eikrem grabbed his second of the evening moments after the break to hand coach Erling Moe’s sode all the three points they needed to guarantee second spot in Group B behind leaders Arsenal.
Meanwhile, in Poland, Joe Aribo saw every second of action while compatriot Leon Balogun logged 81 minutes as Rangers booked top spot in Group A with an excellent 2-0 win over Lech Poznań.
