Aminu Umar ends 833-minute Rizespor goal drought against Konyaspor

Aminu Umar has ended a run of nine matches without a goal with his strike in Rizespor’s 3-1 win over Konyaspor.

The Nigeria international was yet to find the net under Ismail Kartal’s tutelage in what is his second full campaign at Yeni Rize Sehir Stadium.

However, in Saturday’s Super Lig encounter against the Anatolian Eagles, he scored in the 12th minute with goalkeeper Serkan Ku0131ru0131ntu0131lu0131 unable to prevent the 24-year-old from ending an 833-minute wait for a goal.

The barren spell dates back to the 3-2 defeat against Galatasaray in May, when Umar scored the second goal.
