Hours after scoring a last minute goal to give his Turkish team Hatayspor a 1-nil victory over Kasımpaşa on Sunday, devout Christian soccer star Christian Atsu is now among an unknown number of people still buried under rubble in the aftermath of a massive earthquake that has left at least 2,600 people dead in Turkey and Syria.

The United States Geological Survey said the magnitude 7.8 earthquake, which is the strongest earthquake to hit Turkey in more than 80 years, struck a densely-populated area of southeastern Turkey at 4:17 a.m., The New York Times reported. In addition to Syria, the earthquake was also felt in Cyprus, Egypt, Israel and Lebanon. CP.
