Ghana defender Jerome Opoku contributed to one of Istanbul Basaksehir's goals in their thumping 5-1 victory over Gazientep in the Turkish Superlig on Monday evening.
The lanky centre-back, started again for the Istanbul-based club, and lasted the entire duration, delivering a five-star performance in the thrilling victory.
Opoku put the icing on the cake after spotting Ivan Brnic for his side's fifth goal.
Meanwhile, Eldor Shomurov gave Basaksehir the lead in the 21st minute but the visitors responded five minutes later through Drissa Camara.
However, Gazientep's equalizer lasted for only three minutes after Abbosbek Fayzullaev restored Istabul Basaksehir's lead.
After the break, Arsa Kizildag netted an own goal to extend the home side's lead before Umut Gunes added the fourth with 22 minutes remaining.
"Enjoyment. Nice to grab an assist. Happy holidays family," posted Opoku on social media after the match.
The former Fulham academy player has been in fine form for the Turkish club this season, making 15 league appearances.
