A Miya less Konyaspor side managed to defeat an African led Trabzonspor fighting for the champions.
Anthony Nwakaeme and Caleb Ekuban could not stop Trabzonspor from suffering a 4-3 defeat against Miya's Konyaspor. The African stars started for Huseyin Cimsir's side at the Senol Gunes Stadium but their contributions did not prevent the hosts from suffering their second straight loss in the Turkish top-flight. Ekuban assisted Alexander Sorloth in opening the scoring for Trabzonspor in the 12th minute but he could not add to his tally of five league goals this campaign. The Black Stars striker was in action for the entirety while his Nigerian teammate Nwakaeme featured for 46 minutes before his replacement from Senegal Badou Ndiaye, who is on loan from stoke city.
In a closely contested affair played at the Medical Park Arena, Konyaspor needed to come from behind on two occasions in the seven-goal thriller. This also helped Istanbul Basaksekir be crowned champions after winning 1-0 against Kayserispor for the first time in their history as Trabzonspor finished second.

Farouk Miya was missing in action for Konyaspor after bagging a brace in their 4-3 win over league champions Istanbul Basaksehir on Monday taking his tally to nine and currently the club's top scorer. This means surely without his nine goals and 1 assist the Konya side would not avoid relegation. Konyaspor has moved to 13th and they have avoided relegation with the win having gathered 36 points from 33 matches. They host Alanyaspor for their final 2019-20 season fixture on Saturday.
