Nwakaeme’s brilliant assist lifts Trabzonspor to victory

In a game that saw Trabzonspor dominate possession, they struggled to break down Eyüpspor’s defence.

Despite an early penalty miss by Mame Thiam, it was Nwakaeme who proved to be the difference.

His pinpoint assist in the 59th minute allowed John Lundstram to score the game’s only goal.

This was Nwakaeme’s fourth goal contribution of the season, with one goal and three assists to his name.

A vital three points for Trabzonspor

The victory was crucial for Trabzonspor as it propelled them to ninth place in the league standings with 29 points.

Despite being a Turkish Süper Lig champion, Nwakaeme’s last appearance for the Super Eagles came in 2017.
