Larry Kayode delivered a solid performance over the weekend, providing a crucial assist as Erokspor battled to a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Boluspor in their Turkish 1. Lig clash.
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.
Larry Kayode’s assist against Boluspor gave Erokspor early control
Erokspor started the match on the front foot, breaking the deadlock just 19 minutes in. Kayode displayed his playmaking ability when he delivered a precise pass to Ufuk Akyol, who made no mistake in burying his chance.
Taking that slim advantage into halftime, Erokspor appeared in control.
However, 15 minutes into the second half, Kayode was subbed off for Francis Nzaba, and the momentum began to shift.
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.

Neither side could find a winner in the closing moments, and the match ended in a frustrating stalemate for Erokspor.
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.
Can Larry Kayode and his team bounce back from this setback? The pressure is on.
