Super Eagles Striker Aminu Umar Brilliant Volley Rescues Point For Rizespor
Published: November 30, 2018Out-of-favour Nigeria international Aminu Umar rescued a point for Rizespor in their Turkish Super Lig clash against Ankaragucu at çaykur Didi Stadyumu on Friday evening.
Mostapha El Kabir scored with header to give the visitors the lead after 20 minutes and the score was unchanged heading into halftime.
Early in the second half, Umar was presented with a glorious opportunity to score the equaliser but saw his close range effort palmed away for a corner by goalkeeper Bayindır.
In the 66th minute, the former Dream Team VI star made a run inside the box before smashing in an unstoppable volley past the keeper.
He has been deployed mostly as a left winger in the current season, including today's match against Ankaragucu.
Umar has had a hand in three goals (1 goal and 2 assists) in his last three matches in the Turkish topflight.
