The latitudes and leagues change, not the habit and familiarity with the goal.

Ciro Immobile already stars in Turkey with Besiktas. The Campania-born center forward, who left Lazio and Serie A in the summer to move to Super Lig, è gave himself an absolute star Sunday in the Bianconeri. In fact, in his second league appearance, he signed a brace, decisive for his side's 4-2 win against Antalyaspor. And the victory allows the Istanbul team to be at the top of the championship at the moment.

Immobile, who had made his Super Lig debut last Aug. 11 at the Samsunspor ground, scored his two goals in the space of just 10 minutes. His first signature è came on 13', and served to equalize Samudio's initial guest lead. The former Lazio captain then repeated himself on 23'. His match è ended at 83'83' on 3-2: Mustafa Hekimoglu entered in his place.

Thanks to their 4-2 win over Antalyaspor, Besiktas è are on full points in Super Lig tied only with Galatasaray. They are currently chasing two of Turkey’s big names like Fenerbahce and Basaksehir on 4 points, along with Rizespor and Sivasspor.

With the goals scored in Turkey, the number of countries in whose top league Immobile has scored at least one goal rises to four: in addition to Italy (Genoa and Torino, as well as Lazio) there are in fact Germany (Borussia Dortmund) and Spain (Sevilla).
