Nigeria’s national team defender, Kenneth Omeruo, is overjoyed after finding the back of the net for the first time this season while playing for Turkish Super Lig club, Kasimpasa.
In a tightly contested match against Istanbul rivals, Galatasaray, Omeruo’s goal came as a glimmer of hope in a 2-1 defeat for his team.
The Ivorian forward, Wilfred Zaha, put Galatasaray ahead with two goals before Omeruo successfully reduced the deficit in the 54th minute.
Rising above the opposition defense, the 30-year-old expertly headed in a corner kick to score the goal.
Despite putting up a valiant effort for the rest of the game, the visitors were unable to find an equalizer.
Delighted with his performance, Omeruo took to his Facebook page to express his happiness, saying, “What a game tonight… we deserved more… so happy with my first goal of the season, and also proud of this team @kasimpasask. We keep going… 💪🏾💪🏾”
This summer, the talented defender returned to Kasimpasa for his third stint, having previously played for Spanish Segunda División club, CD Leganes.
