Mahatma Otoo scored twice as his team Balikesirspor beat Giresunspor at home by 3-1 in the Turkish second division league opener.

It was a debut to remember for his new side at the Balikesir Atatürk Stadium as the Ghanaian striker scored twice.

The Ghanaian striker opened the scores in time added on as he scored the first goal just before the half time break.

Before he grabbed his second goal for the day in the 74th minute with a calm finish.

Celal Emir Dede added the third goal for the home side Balikesirspor to seal the result before a late consolation from Muhammed Erturk Himmet reduced the deficit for Giresunspor.

The Ghanaian striker rejoined his former side after terminating his contract with Bandirmaspor after three weeks

Otoo who scored just a goal last season has doubled his goal tally the whole of last season in just match day one.

Perhaps it may be signs of good things to come for the former Hearts of Oak captain.
