Bursaspor coach says Iheanacho's ten-match scoring record will be hard to break
Bursaspor head coach Mustafa Er says it will be tough to surpass Kelechi Iheanacho’s run of scoring in ten straight Turkish league matches. The Nigeria forward opened the scoring in Bursaspor’s 3‑0 win over Muğlaspor on October 15, setting a new Turkish football mark. He passed the previous best of nine consecutive games held by Galatasaray legend Metin Oktay and former national team player Saffet Sancaklı.
Er praised Iheanacho’s attitude, teamwork and work ethic, and stressed that the record belongs to the whole squad, not just the striker. He credited the club’s recruitment and welfare staff for bringing in a Premier League‑level player and looking after his mental well‑being. The coach hopes the forward can extend the streak to eleven when Bursaspor hosts Pendikspor on Monday evening in the Turkish First League.
For Nigerian fans watching from home, the achievement shows how a Nigerian star can thrive in Europe’s competitive leagues and highlights the growing impact of African players abroad. It also gives a concrete example of consistency that young players can emulate.
Will you keep tracking Iheanacho’s chase for eleven straight goals, or use his discipline as motivation for your own goals—on the pitch or off it?
