Emenike Scores as Fenerbahce Trash Kasimpasa

Fenerbahce got their first win in the Turkish Super Lig this season on Monday night all thanks to the sterling display by former Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike.

Emenike netted one of the goals and also provided two assists as the Yellow Canneries finally hit the ground running with a 5-1 demolition of Kasimpasa 1-away from home.

Josef de Souza got the opener for Fenerbahce in the 11thminute  as the Brazilian midfielder benefited off an assist from Emenike.

Ozan Tufan then doubled Fenerbahce’s lead nine minutes after before Emenike increased the tally as he banged in the third goal by the stroke of half time.

Kasimpasa attempted a comeback when Tunay Torun from the penalty spot reduced the deficit to 3-1 early in the second half.

However, Fenerbahce who lost one and drew two of their earlier League games made sure they killed off the game with two more second half goals.

Emenike had a hand in one of those goals as Fenerbahce smiled away with a 1-5 victory at the end.
