With a rating of 8.45, Nwakaeme was named Man of the Match after the meeting between Trabzonpsor and Galatasaray, the 17th time he has won the accolade since switching to the Black Sea Storm in the summer of 2018.
In ninety minutes of action, the winger played three shots with two on target, made two key passes touched the ball 73 times and completed a game-high seven dribbles.
The future of Nwakaeme dominated the back pages in Turkey this summer as he entered the last one year of his contract at Trabzonspor.
He and Trabzonspor will face Kasimpasa in their next league game on Saturday, September 18.
