This match is the most important match for our fans. I hope we come out as Super League side at the end of 90 minutes so we can celebrate together,\u201d Karikari had told the club\u2019s official website on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>And the young goal poacher was at his best when he came on as a substitute after 72 minutes in their 2-1 win over Istanbul BB who had already qualified for the top flight as 1.Lig champions.<\/p>\n<p>It meant Balikesirspor saw off the challenge of former top flight hotshots, Orduspor for the second automatic qualification slot on 73 points, 2 more than Orduspor who now head into the playoffs with Akaraspor, Samsunspor and Mersin Idmanyurdu for the last Super lig slot for 2014\/15.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is doing very well as he amongst the top goalscorers in the league. Not only his scoring ability but his total contribution to the team is very impressive. He\u2019s improving daily and I can say that he is definitely a Black Stars material,\u201d Olele had previously said of Karikari.<\/p>\n<p>Source: AllSports Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richard \u2018Olele\u2019 Kingson is celebrating the promotion of his club to the Turkey Super League for the first time in 40 years.
