Rayan narrowed the gap with 16 minutes remaining after Antalyaspor had taken a two-goal lead, sending the keeper the wrong way from the spot.

It marked his first goal since he netted in a 2-1 defeat by Fenerbahce on 19 January.

Rayan took his tally to nine goals in 25 appearances in all competitions, including five in the Turkish league.  
The 24-year-old joined Altay from Cairo giants Ahly on a season-long loan last summer. He was overlooked for Egypt's African Nations Cup campaign and a World Cup qualifying playoff against Senegal.
