What Happened
Paul Onuachu scored his 17th goal of the season, leading Trabzonspor to a 2-1 victory over Gaziantep in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday. After conceding an early goal to Mohamed Bayo in the 22nd minute, Trabzonspor equalized with a goal from Felipe Augusto just two minutes later, followed by Onuachu’s decisive strike in the 27th minute.
Why It Matters
This victory was crucial for Trabzonspor, who needed to bounce back after a loss to Fenerbahce the previous week. The win consolidates their position in third place in the league, with 48 points from 23 matches, seven points behind leaders Galatasaray. Onuachu’s performance not only keeps him at the top of the scoring charts but also highlights his significant contribution to the team’s success this season.
What’s Next
Trabzonspor will look to maintain their momentum as they continue their campaign in the Turkish Super Lig. Onuachu’s form will be vital as they aim to close the gap on the league leaders. Meanwhile, fellow Nigerian player Wilfred Ndidi also made headlines with a goal in Beşiktaş’s 4-0 win over Göztepe, further emphasizing the impact of Nigerian players in the league.
