Awaziem helps Rizespor out of relegation zone

By Abidoye Babatunde

Turkish Super Lig club Rizespor have found themselves out of the relegation zone following their 3-1 victory over Akhisarspor on matchday nineteen, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The game at the caykur Didi Stadyumu (Rize) saw Nigeria international Chidozie Awaziem make his competitive debut for
Rizespor, five days after completing a loan move to the club.

The Porto loanee, who was wearing the number 12 shirt, replaced Aatif Chahechouhe in the 81st minutes.

A minute after the introduction of Awaziem, Prejuce Nakoulma sealed the win, scoring a goal off an assist by former Nigeria U23 international Aminu Umar.

Another new signing, Azubuike Okechukwu understandably was unused in Rizespor's matchday squad as his transfer from Pyramids of Egypt was confirmed two days ago.

With one point more than seventeenth placed Fenerbahce who play on Monday, Rizespor are provisionally 15th in the
standings.
