Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu delivered another clinical display, scoring twice in the first half as Trabzonspor took control against Kayserispor in their league encounter.
The towering forward struck twice in first-half stoppage time to continue his remarkable scoring run and extend his tally to nine consecutive matches with a goal.
The match had already taken an early dramatic turn when Dorukhan Toköz of Kayserispor was shown a red card in the eighth minute, leaving the home side with ten men for the majority of the contest.
Trabzonspor capitalised on the numerical advantage and eventually found the breakthrough late in the first half.
Onuachu opened the scoring during added time with a composed finish before quickly doubling the lead moments later, completing a powerful brace that stunned the home crowd.
The Nigerian forward’s double not only strengthened Trabzonspor’s grip on the match but also placed him in the record books.
With his latest goals, Onuachu became the first African player to score 20 league goals across Europe’s top leagues this season, highlighting his outstanding form in front of goal.
The visitors extended their advantage further when Kayserispor goalkeeper Bilal Bayazit turned the ball into his own net, giving Trabzonspor a comfortable 3–0 lead.
Kayserispor managed to pull one back later through German Onugkha, who reduced the deficit to 3–1 and provided a glimmer of hope for the home side.
Despite the late response, the spotlight firmly remained on Onuachu, whose consistent goal-scoring form continues to make him one of the most prolific African forwards in Europe this season.
The Nigerian international’s ability to dominate in the penalty area, combined with his physical presence and sharp finishing, has been crucial for Trabzonspor throughout the campaign.
With nine straight games on the scoresheet and a historic 20-goal milestone achieved, Onuachu’s incredible run shows no sign of slowing as the season progresses.
