Paul Onuachu’s dazzling performance stole the spotlight despite Trabzonspor’s 3-2 defeat to Besiktas in Turkish Cup final clash on Thursday.

The Nigerian striker scored a stunning solo goal, solidifying his status as one Nigeria’s most in form strikers this season.

The action-packed match saw Onuachu open the scoring in the 13th minute with a display of skill and finesse.

Receiving a pass near the touchline on the left, Onuachu cleverly deceived his marker before embarking on a mesmerizing solo run.

With deft footwork, he outmaneuvered opposing defenders, including a well-executed step-over move, before calmly slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.

This breathtaking goal adds to the Nigerian’s repertoire of memorable strikes this season, with his previous standout moment being an acrobatic backheel effort against Konyaspor in November 2023.

Onuachu’s goal takes his tally 17 in 25 games across all competitions for Trabzonspor.

As speculation mounts regarding the selection of the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic, Onuachu’s scintillating form couldn’t have come at a better time.
