Battle of brace in Turkey as Onyekuru, Akintola fire blank in club friendly

Published on: 11 December 2022

There was nothing friendly in the friendly tie between Galatasaray and Adana Demirspor as both Turkish sides played out a 2-2 draw.

The blue on two occasions threw away the lead with Fredrik Gulbrandsen given brace matched by Galatasaray’s forward Yusuf Demir.

Super Eagles forward Henry Oyenkuru was among the starters for Adana Demirspor but failed to make the difference and was substituted in the 65th minute.

And just like the Edo born forward, David Akintola also was substituted in the second half, four minutes before Onyekuru’s.

It’s obvious that both clubs took their league rivalry into the contest as Galatasaray sit second in the league standing with 27 points, just three more than Adana Demirspor who are third on the table.
