Anthony Nwakaeme delivered a crucial performance for Trabzonspor, scoring a vital goal in their 2-2 draw against Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday night.
The Nigerian forward began the match on the bench but was introduced at the start of the second half as his team sought to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
Nwakaeme made an immediate impact, displaying his trademark composure and creativity in attack.
His persistence paid off in the 82nd minute when he found the back of the net, giving Trabzonspor a temporary 2-1 lead.
However, the celebrations were short-lived, as Kasimpasa equalized in added time, denying Trabzonspor the full three points.
Reflecting on his performance, Nwakaeme, who has now featured in seven league matches this season, highlighted the importance of staying resilient despite the disappointing result.
The draw leaves Trabzonspor in 12th place in the league standings with 16 points, a position that reflects the team’s inconsistent form this season.
With plenty of games remaining, the team will hope to build on Nwakaeme’s contributions as they aim to climb the table and rediscover their winning ways.
