Turkey: Iheanacho breaks his own goal record as he scores in 12 consecutive games

Super Eagles attacker, Kelechi Iheanacho has continued his exceptional goal-scoring form as he found the net again on Sunday in Bursaspor’s 4-2 win against Keçiörengücü in the Turkish 1. Lig.

Iheanacho netted in the 50th minute at Aktepe Stadium, helping Bursaspor to reclaim the lead after both sides had scored twice each in the first half.

Keçiörengücü established an early lead through Emirhan Başyiğit’s own goal in the seventh minute, though Amine Boutrah leveled the score for Bursaspor nine minutes thereafter.

Lewis Baker then put the visitors ahead in the 35th minute before Oğuzcan Çalışkan equalized two minutes prior to the interval.

Iheanacho registered his goal five minutes after the break, positioning Bursaspor ahead 3-2 before Lincoln made it 4-2 for Bursaspor.

Iheanacho’s strike against Keçiörengücü represented his 12th consecutive league match with a goal, surpassing his previous record for the lengthiest scoring sequence in Turkish football.

The Nigerian forward had previously scored in 11 successive league fixtures for Bursaspor prior to extending this achievement with his most recent conversion.

The former Leicester City and Celtic player will endeavor to sustain his distinguished performance level as Bursaspor advance their pursuit in the Turkish second division.

Iheanacho has now scored 16 goals in 12 appearances for the Turkish club.
