Super Eagles striker, Anthony Nwakaeme scored a brace in his first Turkish Super Lig start for Trabzonspor, who white-washed champions Galatasaray 4-0 on Saturday.
Eagles’ assistant skipper, Ogenyi Onazi opened the scoring for the visitors, firing home a rebound in the third minute, following a deflection on Hugo Rodallega’s shot.
The goal was Onazi’s first in six months.
The 25-year-old last scored in his club’s 4-1 win over Yeni Matalayaspor in March.
Nwakaeme then doubled the lead in the 25th minute, finishing off a great play from Yusuf Yazici.
The Nigeria international made it 3-0 in an additional time of the first half before Caleb Ekuban sealed the win in the 90th minute.
Galatasaray paraded Henry Onyekuru who had little effect on the game.
Onyekuru, who was relatively quiet in the game, was subbed off on 81 minutes for Sofiane Feghouli.
Onazi was also replaced by Juraj Kucka in the 74th minute, due to an injury he sustained.
While Nwwakaeme was snubbed, the other pair was invited by coach Gernot Rohr, for Nigeria’s African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Seychelles next week.
