Ibrahim Olawoyin, the dynamic midfielder for Caykur Rizespor, continues to dazzle in the Turkish Super Lig, earning a spot in the Team of the Week for the second consecutive week. His latest accolade follows an outstanding performance in Rizespor’s emphatic 3-1 derby victory against Trabzonspor, where he sealed the win with his first goal.
Rated 9.0 by Flashscore for both matches 11 and 12, the 26-year-old is proving indispensable for Rizespor. Olawoyin’s contributions are not just about goals; his assist last week against Sivasspor also showcased his creativity and vision in midfield.
Sharing the spotlight in the Team of the Week is Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian striker who netted twice for Galatasaray in their thrilling 3-2 win over Samsunspor. Together, they highlight the growing influence of Nigerian players in Turkey’s top flight.
Rizespor’s victory over Trabzonspor marked their fourth win this season, lifting them to 12th place on the table with a game in hand. Olawoyin has been instrumental in their journey, with a history of impactful performances since joining the club midway through the 2022/23 season.
Looking ahead, Olawoyin and his teammates face Gaziantep in their next league fixture on Monday, December 9, at 18:00. Fans will be eager to see if the midfielder can extend his impressive form and lead Rizespor to another victory.
Stay tuned as the “midfield dynamo” continues to make waves in Turkish football!
