In a continuation of their challenging form since the resumption of the Turkish top flight, Bursaspor, featuring Nigerian trio William Troost-Ekong, Mikel Agu, and Shehu Abdullahi, endured a 1-0 away defeat against Akhisar Belediye on Sunday.
Troost-Ekong exhibited unwavering commitment, contributing a full 90 minutes to the fixture. Abdullahi, however, faced a premature substitution in the 60th minute, while Agu remained on the bench throughout the encounter. The solitary goal of the game was netted by Mustafa Yumlu for Akhisar Belediye in the 24th minute, further extending Bursaspor’s winless streak.
The beleaguered Bursaspor side has now encountered a lackluster spell, failing to secure victory in their last four league matches, encompassing three defeats and a solitary draw. The defeat leaves them languishing in the 10th position on the league table, amassing 26 points in the highly contested 18-team league.
As Bursaspor grapples with this challenging phase, the Nigerian contingent’s performances continue to be scrutinized. Troost-Ekong’s resilient display on the field contrasts with the team’s overall struggle for success. The trio’s collective efforts will undoubtedly be crucial as they seek to navigate through this turbulent period and regain momentum in the Turkish top-flight competition.
