Kelechi Iheanacho delighted as Bursaspor opens 2026/27 season with 2-0 win over Bodrum FK
Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho scored a goal and provided an assist in Bursaspor's 2-0 away victory over Bodrum FK in their opening match of the 2026/27 season, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. The 29-year-old, who joined the Turkish second-tier side on a free transfer last month after leaving Celtic, was named Man of the Match for his performance.
Expressing his delight with beIN Sports, Iheanacho said the early matches are tough but that he is thrilled with his goal and assist. The Nigerian striker joined Bursaspor due to the club's ambition of returning to the Turkish top flight, Super Lig, and playing in European competitions. He stated that the project appealed to him as it would help the team achieve promotion, which was his primary individual target.
Bursaspor currently sits second in the early Turkish second-tier standings, aiming for promotion as their main objective.
