Ekuban and Garry Rodrigues score as Mikel-less Trabzonspor hold Fenerbahce

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

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

The Cape Verdean, who is on loan from Saudi Arabia’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 Avdijaj’s cross.
