Nigerian duo Ibrahim Olawoyin and David Akintola played pivotal roles as Caykur Rizespor sealed their Turkish Super Lig status in stunning fashion, beating Goztepe 6-3 in a dramatic nine-goal thriller on Sunday, Soccernet.ng reports .
Playing at the Caykur Didi Stadium, Rizespor produced one of the most entertaining matches of the season to confirm safety with two games to spare.
The hosts stormed into an early lead through Casper Hjer, but Goztepe quickly equalised via Romulo.
Olawoyin restored Rizespor's advantage midway through the first half with a smartly taken low strike from the edge of the box after Gambian forward Ali Sowe teed him up with a deft touch from Taha Sahin's cross.
The goal took the sting out of Goztepe's early momentum and set the tone for a pulsating second half.
