​The visitors appeared set to claim all three points after taking a first-half lead and stubbornly defending their advantage for most of the contest.

​However, Inter Lagos maintained intense pressure through the second half, mounting attack after attack in search of a route back into the game.

Their relentless persistence paid off late in the match when Bashir Abdulkarim capitalized on a defensive opening to slot home the equalizer.

​The drama triggered wild celebrations among the home fans as Inter Lagos snatched a hard-earned point from the jaws of defeat.

​While Inter Lagos can draw confidence from their resilience, Kano Pillars will be frustrated by their failure to manage the game and secure the victory.

The result leaves both teams with a point each, further reflecting the tight, unpredictable nature of this season’s NPFL campaign.

The Nigerian striker has made an impressive start to the season, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in six league appearances.

Amedspor president Nahit Eren revealed on Tuesday that the club’s agreement with Hoffenheim includes a mandatory purchase clause that becomes active if Orban reaches 10 league goals.

Eren said Amedspor paid €500,000 for the loan and would pay €3 million for the permanent transfer if the 10-goal target is reached. (Punch Newspapers)

Orban’s latest goal came in Amedspor’s 3-2 victory over Beşiktaş, where he also provided an assist.

With seven goals already, the 24-year-old now needs just three more to reach the target that could secure his permanent stay in Turkey.

For now, Orban’s focus will be on maintaining his scoring form as Amedspor continue their campaign in the Turkish Süper Lig.
