Crested Cranes forward Juliet Nalukenge played an integral role as 1207 Antalyaspor gained promotion back to the Turkish Women’s topflight league.
Antalyaspor beat Dudullu Spor Kulübü 2-0 in the Promotion Play-Off final at the Manisa 19 Mayıs Stadium on Sunday.
Nalukenge has an instant impact at Antalyaspor since joining the club from Kayserispor Kulübü a month ago.
Nalukenge scored the all important goal in the extra time as Antalyaspor beat Sakaryaspor Kadin 2-1 in the semi-final on Thursday.
In the final, Nalukenge played 88 minutes before she was replaced by Aysu Ucar as Antalyaspor held in the final moments of the game.
