The forward scored his 14th goal of the season across all competitions as Ludovic Magninâ€™s men claimed their second consecutive win.

Benjamin Kololli opened the scoring in the 31st minute from the penalty spot before Odey doubled the lead four minutes later after he was set up by Marco Schonbachler.

Assan Ceesay sealed the victory in the 36th minute to wrap up the commanding first-half performance from Zurich.

Odey featured for the duration of the game in his 30th Super League appearance this season.

On the international scene, the forward will not be part of the Super Eagles squad to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations later in the year, having been omitted from Gernot Rohrâ€™s 25-man provisional list for the tournament.

Nigeria are in Group B along with Burundi, Guinea and Madagascar.

The three-time Africa Champions kick off their campaign in the tournament against Burundi on June 23.
