Nwakaeme and Ekuban in action as Konyaspor stun Trabzonspor in seven-goal thriller

Nigeria's Anthony Nwakaeme and Ghana's Caleb Ekuban could not stop Trabzonspor from suffering a 4-3 defeat against Konyaspor in Sunday's Turkish Super Lig encounter.

The African stars started for Huseyin Cimsir's side at the Senol Gunes Stadium but their contributions did not prevent the hosts from suffering their second straight loss in the Turkish top-flight.

Ekuban assisted Alexander Sorloth in opening the scoring for Trabzonspor in the 12th minute but he could not add to his tally of five league goals this campaign.

The Black Stars striker was in action for the entirety while his Nigerian teammate Nwakaeme featured for 46 minutes before his replacement and Senegal's Badou Ndiaye, who is on loan from Stoke City, played for 83 minutes.
