The hosts made the brighter start as Manisa took the lead in the 20th minute. Cheikne Sylla capitalised on an error by Bursaspor goalkeeper Kerem Matışlı to give the hosts an early advantage and leave the visitors chasing the game.
Just seven minutes after falling behind, Iheanacho produced a moment of individual brilliance. Collecting a pass from Zeki Yavru, Iheanacho danced past four defenders before calmly driving a low finish beyond the goalkeeper to restore parity.
