Nwakaeme laid the assist for Alexander Sorloth who slotted home in the 38th minute to give Trabzonspor the win.

That was the fourth assist for Nwakaeme who also has four league goals so far this season. 

Mikel was taken off in the game in the 78th minute while their compatriot Ogenyi Onazi, was an unused substitute.

Also in Turkey, this weekend, Nigerian midfielder Azubuike Ikechukwu made a cameo in İstanbul Başakşehir’s 4-1 win away at Kayserispor.
