Trabzonspor moved up to fourth in the Turkish top-flight and six points off the top following a 2-0 win over Yeni Malatyaspor
Forgotten Super Eagles star, Anthony Nwakaeme delivered a moment of individual brilliance to help Trabzonspor to a 2-0 win at Yeni Malatyaspor.
The first-half ended goalless with either team unable to find a breakthrough. However, the away side opened the scoring five minutes after the break courtesy of a strike from Anastasios Bakasetas.
It stayed that way until Nwakaeme’s moment of individual brilliance doubled Tranzonspor’s advantage in stoppage time.
The Nigerian international showed incredible skill to beat a defender on the flank before finishing from a tight angle to hand a comfortable victory for the home side.
