Elated Ekong Scores First Bursaspor Goal In Friendly Win

Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong has expressed his delight after scoring his first goal for his new Turkish top flight club Bursaspor.

Ekong opened the scoring for Bursaspor in the 10th minute before Tomas Necid made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute.

With eight minutes remaining, Sinan Bakis rounded off the scoring to seal the win for Bursaspor.
