Nigerian international and Rehoboth FC ambassador, Akintola Babajide Davies, made a strong impression in Caykur Rizespor’s 1-1 draw with Istanbul FC this evening.
In Caykur’s first domestic game of the season, the talented forward showcased his energy, pace, and skill, playing a pivotal role in his team’s performance.
Throughout the match, Babajide was a constant threat to Istanbul FC’s defensive structure, using his agility and quick decision-making to create opportunities.
He registered three shots on target, narrowly missing out on scoring a crucial goal. His performance earned him the second-highest rating in the game, further solidifying his reputation as one of the league’s most promising talents.
Reflecting on his performance, Babajide expressed his determination to build on this strong start.
“It’s always important to start the season on a positive note,” he said. “I felt good on the pitch today, and I’m focused on maintaining this level of performance as we move forward. The team’s support has been incredible, and I’m eager to contribute more in the upcoming matches.”
Next up for Babajide is a highly anticipated clash against his former club, Adana Demirspor, where he played for nearly three years before making the switch to Caykur Rizespor in February.
The match, scheduled for Saturday at 7:45 PM, will be a test of both his form and resolve as he faces familiar faces in a competitive environment.
As Babajide continues to demonstrate his potential, many believe a call-up to the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, could be on the horizon. If he can maintain this level of consistency, his dream of representing his country at the highest level may soon become a reality.
