Kelechi Iheanacho continued his impressive goalscoring form in Turkey, finding the net as Bursaspor played out a 1-1 away draw against Antalyaspor in the Turkish First League.
Sports247 reports that the 30-year-old Super Eagles forward opened the scoring in the 26th minute, producing a clinical finish after being set up by Amine Boutrah to give Bursaspor an early advantage.
The strike took Iheanacho’s league tally to 17 goals this season, further strengthening his position among the competition’s leading scorers and underlining his importance to Bursaspor’s promotion ambitions.
However, the hosts responded to deny the visitors maximum points, with the contest ending 1-1. Although Bursaspor were unable to turn their early lead into a victory, Iheanacho once again demonstrated his ability to deliver in front of goal.
His latest effort also extends a remarkable personal run. Iheanacho had reportedly become the first player in Turkish league history to score in 12 consecutive appearances, an achievement that has attracted attention across the competition.
Since joining Bursaspor, the Nigerian striker has emerged as a key figure in the club’s attacking setup. His consistency in front of goal has provided the team with a dependable source of goals as they pursue their objectives this season.
For the Super Eagles forward, the immediate challenge will be to maintain this remarkable scoring form while helping Bursaspor collect the points needed to strengthen their promotion push.
With 17 league goals already to his name, Iheanacho is enjoying a prolific campaign in Turkey. His performances will continue to attract attention, particularly from Nigerian supporters eager to see him sustain his form at club level.
The big question now is whether Senior Man can keep finding the net and lead Bursaspor closer to promotion.
