Nigerian forward Ahmed Adebayo unleashed a moment of brilliance on Friday, scoring a crucial goal against Harju that propelled JK Tammeka to a thrilling 2-1 victory in the Estonia Premium Liiga.

This crucial win, secured at the Tamme Stadium, offers a much-needed spark for a team that has been battling a string of poor results, with Adebayo’s consistent scoring form proving to be their beacon of hope, Footballrover reports.

Ahmed Adebayo’s decisive strike against Harju

The match began with a fortuitous turn for JK Tammeka when Andreas Kaevats’ own goal handed them the lead in the 37th minute.

However, it was Adebayo who truly doubled their advantage just a minute before halftime.

Displaying his exceptional dribbling skills, Adebayo weaved his way into the 18-yard box and unleashed a powerful shot to the middle of the post, securing his 7th goal in 14 appearances this season.

This decisive strike marked his second consecutive game on the scoresheet, following his lone goal in their recent 3-1 defeat to league leaders Flora.

While Harju managed to pull one back through Karel Eerme’s penalty in extra time, Tammeka held firm, thanks to Adebayo’s earlier brilliance.

His compatriot, Chilem Ignatius, later replaced him in the 5th minute of additional time, while Ganiu Ogungbe also contributed to the victory despite an early yellow card.

This hard-fought victory sees JK Tammeka climb to 8th place in the Meistriliiga’s 10-team table, accumulating 13 points after 16 rounds of matches, just one point behind their visitors in 7th.

The team’s recent struggles, with eight defeats in their last ten games, show the immense importance of this win and the impact of players like Ahmed.

Since joining from Saldus SS/Leevon as a free agent, Adebayo has consistently delivered, registering an impressive 32 goals and two assists in 59 appearances across three seasons.

His scoring prowess, which includes 10 goals in 17 games in his first season and 15 goals and two assists in 28 matches in his second, continues to be a driving force for JK Tammeka as they strive to climb higher in the league standings.
