Paul Onuachu Scores Again as Trabzonspor Beat Rizespor

Paul Onuachu continued his excellent form on Saturday as Trabzonspor defeated Çaykur Rizespor 1–0 in the Turkish Süper Lig.

The Super Eagles striker scored the only goal of the match six minutes into the second half. He finished from close range after a well-timed cut-back from teammate Oleksandr Zubkov.

The goal took Onuachu’s total to 23 goals and two assists in 26 games in all competitions this season. His performances have played a major role in Trabzonspor’s strong attacking display.

The 31-year-old has now scored in eight consecutive league matches. He has found the net against several teams during this run, showing consistent form in front of goal.

This achievement makes him the first Trabzonspor player to score in eight or more straight league games since 2011.

Onuachu is also close to setting another record. He is nearing the mark for the most goals scored by a foreign player in a single league season for Trabzonspor. The current record stands at 25 goals.

The Nigerian striker will hope to continue his scoring streak as the season progresses.
