Trabzonspor silenced Yeni Malatyaspor 3-1 in Wednesday’s Super Lig encounter, with Anthony Nwakaeme finding the net.
The 30-year-old fired past goalkeeper Fabien Farnolle in the 55th minute thanks to Caleb Ekuban’s assist.
Hüseyin Cimsir’s men took an early lead at Malatya Arena courtesy of Filip Novak’s 10th-minute strike after converting Filip Jose Sosa’s assist.
Sosa put his name on the scorer’s sheet 20 minutes later as Trabzonspor raced to a two-goal lead before the hosts pulled one back through Umut Bulut a minute before the half-time break.
However, the Nigerian sealed victory for the Black Sea Storm ten minutes into the second half as no further goals were scored on the night.
Nwakaeme has now scored 10 league goals in 23 appearances with six of them coming from his last seven outings.
He saw every minute of action while Ekuban made way for Bilal Basacikoglu with seven minutes left to play.
His compatriot John Obi Mikel was an unused substitute alongside on-loan Stoke City star Badou Ndiaye, while Morocco’s Manuel da Costa was not listed for the tie. (Goal)
