Gaziantepspor have climbed to eighth position in the Super Lig standings on the back of their hard fought 1 - 0 win over Mersin Ä°dmanyurdu in the latest round of matches in the top division.

Nigerian attacking midfielder John Chibuike secured all three points for Gaziantepspor with the game winning goal in the 64th minute.

Shortly after he struck, match referee Firat Aydinus cautioned him, but he remained on the pitch until two minutes to the end of the contest before being substituted.

John Chibuike has now netted three times in the Super Lig for his new employer following his switch from Rosenborg in the summer transfer market.

Compatriot and teammate Gbenga Arokoyo was named in the starting lineup by manager Okan Buruk for the eighth game in a row.
