Fisayo Dele-Bashiru scored his eighth goal of the season for Hatayspor to beat Rizespor 2-0 and escape relegation from the Turkish top flight.
Dele-Bashiru, who has been handed another call-up by the Super Eagles for World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin, opened scoring after just four minutes.
The midfielder, who has been hailed as one player to bring creativity to the Super Eagles midfield, played the entire game.
For the other team, Ibrahim Olawoyin also played the entire duration, but did not have the same effect as Dele-Bashiru.
Hatayspor finished in 15th place and a point outside the relegation zone.
