Iheanacho's Brace Leads Bursaspor to TFF 1. Lig Summit

Kelechi Iheanacho scored a brace to help Bursaspor achieve a 2-1 comeback victory against Batman Petrolspor on Saturday, propelling his team to the top of the TFF 1. Lig.
Iheanacho netted the decisive goal in the 85th minute, contributing to Bursaspor's impressive record of six wins and one draw in their first eight league matches. The team is currently three points ahead of Kayserispor, who have played one game less.
Since joining Bursaspor as a free agent from Celtic this summer, Iheanacho has scored 11 goals and provided two assists in eight league appearances, marking a personal best with goals in eight consecutive matches, equaling a club record previously set by Fernandao in the 2014/15 season. Iheanacho's scoring streak includes goals against Manisa FK and Esenler Erokspor prior to the Batman Petrolspor match.
He has also been named in Nigeria’s squad for an upcoming friendly against Russia, marking his first Super Eagles call-up in over a year.
