Nicholas Opoku once again underlined his importance to Kasımpaşa SK after helping the club earn a vital point in a scoreless encounter with Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
The draw at home proved enough to lift Kasımpaşa above the relegation line, placing them 14th in the standings.
At the centre of that outcome was the Ghanaian defender, who delivered a calm and assured performance throughout the contest.
Opoku’s positioning and anticipation repeatedly broke down Antalyaspor’s attacking moves, allowing his side to stay compact.
The former Amiens player has grown into a leader at the back, offering stability during a demanding campaign.
His durability has been remarkable, having featured for the full duration of all 18 league matches this season.
Beyond his presence, his defensive numbers tell a strong story, with high contributions in tackles, interceptions and clearances.
He has also shown composure on the ball, keeping errors to a minimum. Crucially, Opoku is yet to be directly responsible for any goal or shot conceded this season.
As the battle for survival intensifies, his consistency continues to be a major asset for Kasımpaşa.
