Former Golden Eaglets forward Funsho Bamgboye scored the lone goal in Hatayspor’s crucial 1-0 victory over Alanyaspor in a Turkish Super Lig clash on Sunday.
Bamgboye’s 56th-minute strike ended the club’s dismal 11-game winless streak, marking their first league win since a 3-1 victory against 10-man Gaziantep earlier in the season.
Hatayspor are deeply rooted in the relegation zone sitting 18th on the log with 13 points from 23 games. The win is their second of the season. They have suffered 14 losses and seven draws.
The goal is the second in the Turkish Super Lig for Bamgboye. He last scored in November in the 3-1 win over Gaziantep.
