Tosaint Ricketts (UW-Green Bay) scored his first goal for Turkish club Boluspor, delivering the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over host Karabükspor on Friday night.

The Canadian international's sixth start and eighth appearance for the second-division side proved to be a memorable one, as Ricketts finished at the back post after a corner kick in the 69th minute. (Watch below)

The corner was headed out, but the ball was promptly served back into the box and Alican Karadag back-heeled it to the far post for Ricketts as Boluspor (3-3-4) ended a seven-game unbeaten streak for second-place Karabükspor and moved into 10th place in the 18-team 1. Lig. Ricketts logged 72 minutes in the victory.
