Egypt international Ahmed Yasser Rayan has scored in Altay’s defeat against Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig’s 31st round.
Rayan had joined Turkish Super League outfit Altay SK on a season-long loan from African champions Al Ahly just earlier this season.
The 24-year-old has a decent campaign with Altay despite their struggles in the league, having scored eight goals in 24 appearances across all competitions.

Altay hosted Antalyaspor on Saturday and needed a win to get closer to safety in the Turkish Super Lig standings, however, they fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat.
The visitors took the early lead in the first half when Haji Wright squared the ball to an open Luiz Adriano to tap in Antalyaspor’s first goal in the 25th minute.
Zeki Yıldırım had a glorious chance to level the scoring for Altay at the beginning of the second half but Antalyaspor managed to clear the ball off the line.
In the 70th minute, Antalyaspor managed to extend their lead through Haji Wright, whose powerful shot found the bottom corner.
Ahmed Yasser Rayan gave Altay a glimmer of hope two minutes when he successfully converted from the spot and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.
Following their defeat, Altay remain 17th in the Turkish Super Lig standings with 29 points after 31 games played, seven points away from safety.
Their next Turkish Super Lig game will be away against fifth-placed Adana Demirspor on Sunday, April 10th as kick-off takes place at 15:00 CLT.
