Mbaye Diagne closes in on historic Turkish second-division scoring record

Mbaye Diagne is closing in on a historic milestone in Turkish football after a standout season with Amedspor in the Trendyol 1. Lig, where the Senegalese striker is within reach of the single-season scoring record.

The former Galatasaray forward, who previously finished as the Süper Lig’s top scorer during the 2018-19 campaign, has continued his prolific form in the Turkish second tier, firmly establishing himself as one of the league’s most decisive players this season.

With three matches remaining, Diagne has already scored 28 goals for Amedspor and leads the division’s scoring charts.

His consistent output has placed him on the verge of breaking a long-standing record for the most goals scored in a single season in the Turkish second division.

The current benchmark stands at 29 goals, set by Marco Paixão. Diagne now sits just two goals away from surpassing that total and etching his name into the league’s history as the outright record holder.

Beyond his individual pursuit, the Senegal international is also playing a central role in Amedspor’s push for promotion.

The club currently occupies second place in the standings, a position that would secure automatic promotion to the Süper Lig if maintained until the end of the season.

A return to Turkey’s top flight would mark a significant achievement for Amedspor, who are aiming for a historic promotion, while also capping what has already been a remarkable campaign for Diagne on both personal and team levels.

The final stage of the season now presents two major targets for the striker: surpassing Paixão’s long-standing scoring record and helping Amedspor secure promotion to the top division for the first time in their history.

As the campaign reaches its decisive phase, Diagne’s form continues to be central to Amedspor’s ambitions, with his goals carrying both statistical significance and potential historical impact for the club.
