Süper Lig: Marius, Ntcham lead Samsunspor to victory

Chad national team star Marius Mouandilmandji combined forces with Cameroonian midfielder Olivier Ntcham to deliver a 3-2 victory away from home for Samsunspor on Monday in the Turkish Süper Lig.

Elayis Tavsan opened the scoring for the visitors in the 37th minute and it took less than three minutes for the Ntcham to double the lead. After cleanly receiving a firm pass from Marius in the penalty area, the Cameroonian fired a low shot past Alanyaspor goalkeeper Paulo Victor to give his team a 2-0 halftime lead.

The second half appeared to be destined to pass without any events of significance, only for stoppage time to provide an intriguing conclusion. Receiving a pass from Carlo Holse on the left wing, Marius accelerated into the center before pulverizing a shot into the corner from fifteen yards out.

Alanyaspor made a surprise push to steal a point with Güven Yalçın scoring in the sixth minute of stoppage time before DR Congo international winger Meschack Elia pulled the hosts to within a goal. However, it was too little, too late for Alanyaspor in the midtable clash.

Marius now has 20 goals and 3 assists in 47 matches from all competitions this season for Samsunspor, while Ntcham’s strike was his third goal of the campaign. Unfortunately, following their elimination in the Turkish Cup four days earlier, the club are out of contention to qualify for UEFA club competition next season in 7th position.
