Nwakaeme put the visitors ahead in the 28th minute, albeit, the goal was cancelled out by referee Erkan Ozdamar after VAR replays ruled that the Super Eagle had been in an offside position.
Five minutes into the second-half, Anastasios Bakasetas handed Trabzonspor the lead. With goalkeeper Abdulsamed Damlu punching out a dangerous free-kick, the Greek forward picked the rebound, controlled the ball before unleashing a beauty past Damlu.
That strike saw the hosts come out in their numbers in search of an equaliser. However, their efforts met strong resistance from a solid Black Sea Storm backline.
In the closing stages of the tie, Nwakaeme had the final say – dribbling past Issam Chebake before sending a ferocious shot past the goalkeeper.
Akintola, meanwhile, was also handed his 15th league start in the encounter and gave a good account of himself but could not save Omer Erdogan’s side from their sixth defeat of the campaign.
The game started with both sides aiming to find the back of the net but despite their efforts, the first half ended 0-0.
After the restart of the game, following the half-time break, Zeki Yavru broke the deadlock, hitting his effort beyond the reach of goalkeeper Akin Alkan to give Yeni Malatyaspor the lead.
Adem Buyuk then doubled the lead for Hamza Hamzaoglu’s men in the 77th minute, converting his effort from the penalty spot.
