Published: March 11, 2017
On his first appearance since returning from injury, Aminu Umar found the back of the net as Osmanlispor FK were held to a 1-1 draw by Bursaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday afternoon.
The Super Eagles striker came off the bench at the start of the second half and with his team a goal behind, before he netted the equalizer with five minutes left on the clock.
A loose ball bounced in front of Aminu and his sharp shot from close range beat goalkeeper Harun Tekin.
During his spell on the sidelines, the 22-year-old missed eight games in row, including two crucial Europa League games against Olympiakos.
