Tosaint Ricketts (UW-Green Bay) didn't take long to open his account at his new club.
The Canadian international headed home a pair of goals in a 6-minute span to help Bucaspor rally from a three-goal deficit and pull level with Adana Demirspor, but the home side pulled out a wild 5-4 victory in a Turkish Football Federation First League match Sunday. (Video highlights below)
Bucaspor (2-4-0) scored first, then gave up four goals in 15 minutes to fall behind 4-1. Ricketts, playing his third match with the second-division club since joining from Norway's Sandnes Ulf at the transfer deadline Sept. 2, pulled one back in the 50th minute and did it again in the 55th.
After Bucaspor equalized in the 61st, Adana Demirspor went right back ahead in the 62nd and held on for the victory. Surprisingly, this wasn't even the highest-scoring match between the teams this year: They played out a 5-5 draw back in April.
