Kelechi Iheanacho scored for the 12th consecutive game as Bursaspor beat Keciorengucu 4-2 on Sunday to move to the top of the Turkish 1. Lig.

The victory was Bursaspor’s third successive league win and continued an outstanding run of form for the Nigeria forward, who has been among the club’s leading contributors this season.

Iheanacho added Bursaspor’s third goal five minutes after half-time, helping the Green Crocodiles secure another three points.

The 30-year-old has now scored 16 goals and provided three assists in 12 appearances for Bursaspor this season.

Bursaspor will look to make it four league victories in a row when they host Bandırmaspor on Saturday.

Awaziem double ends Konyaspor’s winless run

Chidozie Awaziem scored twice as Konyaspor defeated Genclerbirligi 2-0 in the Turkish Super Lig.

The Nigerian defender put the hosts ahead two minutes before the interval, giving Konyaspor a narrow advantage at half-time.

Genclerbirligi responded by pushing forward after the restart in search of an equaliser, but Konyaspor’s defence kept the visitors at bay.

Awaziem then doubled the lead 11 minutes into the second half. He reacted quickest from close range after Genclerbirligi failed to clear a corner.

The second goal confirmed victory for Konyaspor, who ended a three-match winless run in the league and collected all three points.

Arokodare strikes for Ajax

Tolu Arokodare was also on target in Holland, scoring the winning goal as Ajax defeated Sparta Rotterdam 2-1.

The striker found the net shortly before half-time to give the former European champions the advantage and secure victory.

Arokodare has now scored nine goals and supplied three assists in 14 appearances across all competitions this season.
