Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho continued his outstanding scoring form, netting twice as Bursaspor came from behind to beat Batman Petrolspor 2-1 away from home. The result extends Iheanacho’s remarkable run to eight consecutive league matches with a goal.
A Second-Half Turnaround
Petrolspor had taken the lead in the 29th minute through Doria, but Iheanacho drew Bursaspor level from the penalty spot just after the hour mark. He then completed the comeback five minutes from full time, sealing another crucial away win for the Green Crocodiles.
A Season To Remember So Far
The brace takes Iheanacho’s tally for the season to 11 goals and two assists, underlining just how central he has become to Bursaspor’s attacking play since his move to Turkey.
Extending The Lead At The Top
The result strengthens Bursaspor’s position at the summit of the Turkish second tier, opening up a three point cushion at the top of the table. They will look to keep their fine form going when they host Mardin BB in their next league fixture on Sunday, October 11.
