Vincent Aboubakar was on target once again for Hatayspor, but his efforts were not enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat against Gaziantep in a thrilling Turkish Super Lig clash.

The experienced Cameroonian forward gave Hatayspor the lead in the 38th minute, showing his trademark composure to slot the ball home after a well-worked attacking move. His goal seemed to have put the visitors in control, and they fought hard to maintain the advantage heading into halftime.

However, Gaziantep had other ideas, striking a cruel blow right at the stroke of halftime to level the score just before the break. The momentum then shifted in favor of the home side, and they completed the comeback with a second goal in the 59th minute, sealing all three points and leaving Hatayspor empty-handed.

Despite the result, Aboubakar’s performance stood out once again. His movement, strength, and clinical finishing reminded fans of his enduring quality. The 33-year-old has now made 29 appearances across all competitions this season, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists for Hatayspor.

While the loss adds pressure on Hatayspor in their fight to stay clear of the relegation zone, Aboubakar’s continued contributions remain a beacon of hope for the club. With a few games left in the season, Hatayspor will be counting on their talisman to lead the line and inspire a strong finish.
