Anthony Nwakaeme played 71 minutes while Mikel Obi was an unused substitute in the 3-1 road win over AEK Athens FC in the Europa League.
A swift come back after going behind in the opening 4 minutes saw the Karadeniz Fırtınası take the lead before half-time; putting two past the host despite missing a penalty.
The night was made for 25 year-old Ghanaian Forward Caleb Ekuban he followed his first half brace with a 70th minute insurance goal for his side to complete his hat-trick.
