Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku was on target for Fenerbahce as they beat Kayserispor in the Turkish Super Ligue on Sunday.
The goal was the Black Stars defender's third league goal having gotten on the scoresheet twice already in his previous 23 appearances.
Djiku started his 22nd game in this season's Super Lig as his side hosted Kayserispor at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
The Ghanaian was given a starting role in the heart of midfield alongside former Manchester United's Fred.
Michy Batshuayi opened the scoring for Fenerbahce after an assist from Dusan Tadic.
On the 43rd-minute mark, Djiku surged forward and got rewarded.

The 29-year-old received the ball on the edge of the penalty box after a failed clearance, sending in a great curler into the back of the net to double the lead for his side.
After the break, Caglar Syuncu scored the third to wrap up the win for Ismail Kartal's men who moved within six points the reach of Galatasaray with just two games until the end of the campaign.
Djiku has been directly involved in four goals in the Turkish top flight this season, scoring three and assisting once.
