Tyler Boyd continued his strong loan spell at Turkish side Sivasspor on Wednesday, scoring his second brace over the past three weeks.
Boyd scored twice as Sivasspor knocked off Antalyaspor 4-2 in league play on Wednesday, with the U.S. Men’s National Team winger moving to five goals scored this season. It was a fast start for Boyd who broke the deadlock in the opening minute for Sivasspor on the road, setting the tone for a busy afternoon.
After the hosts drew level in the 27th minute, Boyd was at it again, scoring his second goal of the first half to make it 2-1 Sivasspor. The club would add a pair of second-half goals to extend its unbeaten league run to 10 matches. Boyd completed the match with an 88% passing completion rate as well as one dribble and two aerial battles completed.
Up next for Boyd and Sivasspor is a home date with Konyaspor on Sunday.
