Kelechi Iheanacho continued his remarkable goalscoring form on Sunday, after finding the net in Bursaspor’s 4-2 victory over Keçiörengücü in the Turkish 1. Lig.
The Super Eagles striker scored in the 50th minute at Aktepe Stadium, helping Bursaspor regain the lead after an entertaining first half in which both teams scored twice.
Keçiörengücü took an early lead through Emirhan Başyiğit’s own goal in the seventh minute, but Amine Boutrah equalised for Bursaspor eight minutes later.
Lewis Baker then put the visitors ahead in the 35th minute before Oğuzcan Çalışkan restored parity two minutes before half-time.
Iheanacho was on target five minutes into the
minutes into the second half, putting Bursaspor 3-2 ahead with another important contribution to his team’s attacking performance.
Lincoln subsequently extended the visitors’ advantage in the 66th minute, making it 4-2 and strengthening Bursaspor’s control of the match.
Iheanacho’s goal against Keçiörengücü marked his 12th consecutive league appearance on the scoresheet, breaking his own record for the longest scoring streak in Turkish football.
The Nigerian striker had scored in 11 successive league appearances for Bursaspor before extending that run with his latest goal.
Iheanacho’s consistent performances have established him as a key figure in Bursaspor’s attack since joining the Turkish club.
The former Leicester City and Celtic forward will now look to maintain his impressive form as Bursaspor continue their campaign in the Turkish second division.
