Trabzonspor were held to a 1-1 draw against Gaziantep FK at the Kalyon stadium in the Super Lig on Saturday.

The Claret-Blues ended up dropping points for the second time in three weeks – although the draw three weeks ago was away to Besiktas.

The visitors actually opened the scoring when Ekuban put his side ahead on 22 minutes.

Kayode equalised for the home side but there was late drama when Nwakaeme scored in the second minute of additional time. The goal was however, ruled out after a controversial VAR decision.
