Turkey: Iheanacho Extends Scoring Streak As Bursaspor Beat Pendikspor

Kelechi Iheanacho continued his impressive scoring form, finding the net for the 11th consecutive game as Bursaspor secured a 2-0 victory over Pendikspor at the Atatürk Spor Kompleksi on Monday night.

Halil Akbunar opened the scoring in the 10th minute, rewarding Bursaspor’s early dominance and giving the Green Crocodiles a deserved lead.

Iheanacho doubled the advantage two minutes after the hour mark. The Nigeria international connected with a cross from Lincoln inside the penalty area and powered an unmarked header into the net to seal the victory.

The goal takes Iheanacho’s tally to 15 goals and three assists in 10 league appearances for Bursaspor this season, underlining his outstanding contribution to the team’s campaign.

The result lifted Mustafa Er’s side to second place in the league standings with 25 points, just one point behind leaders Kayserispor.

Bursaspor will look to maintain their momentum when they face Keçiörengücü in their next league fixture on Sunday.
