The Black Sea Storm left Sukru Saracoglu Stadium with a point thanks to the Ghanaian, who erased the Cape Verde internationalâ€™s opener

Caleb Ekuban and Garry Rodrigues were on target as Trabzonspor -Â without John Obi Mikel - played out a 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce in Sundayâ€™s Super Lig clash.

Both teams came into the game unbeaten, however, it was hosts Fenerbahce who took the lead thanks to Rodriguesâ€™ 17th-minute effort.

The Cape Verdean, who is on loan from Saudi Arabiaâ€™s Al-Ittihad, fired past goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir after a brilliant move by Max Kruse.

Nonetheless, Ekuban levelled matters eight minutes later with his first Super Lig goal of the season after heading home Donis Avdijajâ€™s cross.

On the stroke of half time, Rodrigues almost put Ersun Yanalâ€™s men in front but his shot kissed the woodwork.

A second-half without goals ensured honours was shared inside Sukru Saracoglu Stadium as both teams remain unbeaten after three league outings.

While Nigeriaâ€™s Anthony Nwakame was on parade from start to finish, manager Unal Karaman left his compatriot Mikel on the bench.

On the other hand, former Super Eagles winger Victor Moses was left out by Fenerbahce.

After the international break, sixth-placed Trabzonspor welcome strugglers Genclerbirligi to the Medical Park Stadium.
