David Okereke Scores in Gaziantep’s Loss to Fenerbahce
Nigeria forward David Okereke found the back of the net in Gaziantep’s 3-1 defeat to Fenerbahce on Monday night.
Okereke delivered a moment of brilliance in the 41st minute, leveling the score after Oguz Aydin had given the hosts an early lead. The Nigerian striker skillfully chipped the ball over the advancing goalkeeper and fired it home, marking his third goal of the season for Gaziantep.
Despite Okereke’s efforts, Gaziantep couldn’t hold off Fenerbahce’s late surge. Rodrigo Becao and Edin Dzeko scored decisive goals in the closing stages of the match to secure victory for the Turkish Super Lig leaders.
Another Nigerian, Bright Osayi-Samuel, also featured prominently for Fenerbahce, continuing his impressive run of form this season.
What Do You Think? Can Okereke’s Form Spark a Turnaround for Gaziantep?

How can Okereke’s individual brilliance translate into better results for Gaziantep?
Should the team make tactical adjustments to maximize Okereke’s potential in future matches?
With Bright Osayi-Samuel thriving at Fenerbahce, could Nigerian players like Okereke benefit from moves to stronger teams in the league?
