Kelechi Iheanacho makes history with unprecedented Turkish goalscoring run
Bursaspor striker Kelechi Iheanacho has set an all-time Turkish football record by scoring 15 goals across 11 consecutive league matches.
Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho has cemented his place in footballing folklore after establishing a brand-new record for the longest consecutive scoring streak in Turkish football history.
The lethal attacker achieved the landmark feat during Bursaspor’s 2-0 victory over Pendikspor, finding the net to mark his 11th successive league appearance on the scoresheet.
Across this remarkable domestic run in the Turkish second tier, the prolific forward has compiled an extraordinary tally of 15 goals.
When accounting for international duty, Iheanacho’s personal scoring run extends even further to 12 consecutive matches across all competitions, bolstered by a goal scored during Nigeria’s dramatic 3-3 exhibition draw against Russia.
Reacting to the historic milestone, the striker admitted he was initially unaware of breaking records until notified by club officials and teammates, expressing immense pride in navigating the physical demands of the division to achieve the feat.
Despite mounting media speculation surrounding his long-term career trajectory, Iheanacho emphasized that he remains firmly focused on the present and dedicated to helping Bursaspor secure the league championship.
Having seamlessly integrated into Bursaspor’s attack, Iheanacho’s record-breaking sequence stands as the most dominant individual goalscoring run ever recorded across Turkey’s professional leagues.
