Ghana star Ekuban sends South Africa warning with brace in Trabzonspor victory

Ghana star Caleb Ekuban has sent South Africa a warning ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with his two goals in Trabzonspor’s 4-1 thumping of Ankaragucu on Saturday.

The 26-year-old ended his goal drought in the Turkish Super Lig in style after finding the back of the net since the Black Sea Storm defeated Genclerbirligi on January 23.

Ekuban got the hosts off to a flying start with his eighth-minute opener, but it was cancelled out by Ibrahim Akdag's penalty in the 26th minute.
