Super Eagles Defender Shehu Turns From Hero To Zero For Bursaspor
Published: March 01, 2020Nigeria international defender Abdullahi Shehu turned from hero to zero as Bursaspor were held to a 1-1 draw by ümraniyespor at Umraniye Hekimbası Sehir Stadyumu (Istanbul) on Sunday, March 1, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
Shehu gave Bursaspor a dream start by opening the scoring in the sixth minute but the opponents took a share of the spoils courtesy of Nouri's equaliser on 70 minutes.
With eleven minutes remaining, the Super Eagles star was shown a straight card by referee Erkan Ozdamar.
The former Kano Pillars man has had disciplinary issues this season, picking up four yellow cards in total which led to him missing the matchday 23 fixture against BB Erzurumspor as a result of accumulated bookings.
Last weekend, Shehu reached a milestone when he went the distance against Altay SK - his 50th game in a Bursaspor shirt since joining the club from Anorthosis Famagusta in Cyprus.
Hee has now tallied three goals in the league - his best goal return in a single-season for a European club.
