Super Eagles Striker Breaks His Own League Record After Firing Club to Victory

According to a report by OwnGoalNigeria on Sunday, October 25, 2026, Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho has broken his own Turkish league record after scoring in Bursaspor’s 4-2 victory over Keçiörengücü on Sunday.

The Nigerian forward extended his remarkable goalscoring streak to 12 consecutive league appearances.

Iheanacho found the net in the 50th minute at Aktepe Stadium to put Bursaspor ahead at 3-2 after an entertaining first half in which both teams scored twice.

Keçiörengücü had taken an early lead through Emirhan Başyiğit’s own goal in the seventh minute, but Amine Boutrah equalized for Bursaspor eight minutes later.

Lewis Baker then gave the visitors the lead in the 35th minute before Oğuzcan Çalışkan restored parity two minutes before half-time.

Five minutes into the second half, Iheanacho struck to restore Bursaspor’s advantage to deliver another crucial contribution as the visitors pushed for victory.

Lincoln Henrique subsequently extended Bursaspor’s lead in the 66th minute to seal a 4-2 win for the visitors.

The latest goal took Iheanacho’s scoring streak to 12 consecutive Turkish league appearances and extended the record he had previously established with 11 successive matches on the scoresheet.

According to the report, the latest strike took Iheanacho’s tally to 16 goals in the Turkish second division this season.

The report also confirmed that Bursaspor moved to the top of the league table following the victory.

The former Leicester City and Celtic forward joined Bursaspor on a free transfer from Celtic during the summer.

His impressive performances have helped revive his career in Turkey and earned him a recall to the Super Eagles squad.

Iheanacho also scored Nigeria’s opening goal in their 3-3 international friendly draw against Russia on October 6.

His consistent club form has also earned him a place in Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania.

The striker will hope to maintain his scoring momentum as the Super Eagles pursue their qualification objectives.

Iheanacho is now the first player in Turkish football history to score in 12 consecutive league matches.

His record-breaking run has strengthened Bursaspor’s promotion ambitions as the club seeks to return to Turkey’s top division.

Iheanacho will now look to maintain his impressive form and extend his record further as Bursaspor continue their campaign in the Turkish second division.
