While Kayode made his mark with a goal contribution, his fellow Nigerian, Paul Mukairu, also impressed for Boluspor in the Round 22 encounter at Esenler Stadium, Footballrover reports.

Erokspor entered the match riding a wave of momentum after back-to-back 1-0 wins over Adanaspor AS and Yeni Malatyaspor.

They were eager to make it three in a row but ultimately fell short, dropping two crucial points.

Boluspor had a golden opportunity to equalise in the 70th minute when they were awarded a penalty. But Kosta Aleksic fluffed his lines, squandering the chance from the spot.

Erokspor’s relief was short-lived, though, as Ishak Karaoğul made amends for his teammate’s miss, squeezing in the equaliser just five minutes later.

With this result, Erokspor extended their inconsistent form, with only two wins in their last seven outings—managing three draws and suffering two defeats.

Currently sitting 14th in the Turkish 1. Lig table with 30 points, Erokspor will look to bounce back in their next fixture against Gençlerbirliği.
