BEVERLY HILLS, June 13, (THEWILL) – Nigerian international, Anthony Nwakaeme, who plays for Trabzonspor in Turkey, scored the first goal in the Turkish League, which restarted Friday with his team’s game against Goztepe.
The Turkish Super Lig was suspended like other leagues across the world.

Trabzonspor who are the league leaders later doubled their lead in the early minutes of the second half as Ghanaian International, Caleb Ekuban, netted a second.
However, Goztepe player, Alpaslan Ozturk, later reduced the goal margin but it was an evening for Trabzonspor as Abdülkadir Ömür wrapped up the game after he scored the third goal.
