Iheanacho Celebrates Record-Breaking Goal at Bursaspor
Kelechi Iheanacho, a striker for Bursaspor, expressed that his goal breaking the Turkish record for consecutive matches scored is his favorite for the club, despite it not being his best finish. Iheanacho joined Bursaspor as a free agent in the summer after not reaching a new deal with Celtic.
He has been in exceptional form, scoring in 12 consecutive matches, totaling 16 goals this season. On October 15, he scored against Muğlaspor, breaking the record previously held by Galatasaray legends Metin Oktay and Saffet Sancaklı.
In an interview with Bursaspor’s official YouTube channel, he stated the record goal holds significant historical value for him. He noted that while his best goal in terms of quality was from an assist by Ivan Saranic, the record-breaking goal is paramount in his career.
Iheanacho scored the record goal against Esenler Erokspor on September 13. He extended his scoring streak in a 4-2 victory over Keçiörengücü, which placed Bursaspor at the top of the 1.
Lig table with 28 points from 12 matches.
