The Nigerian centre-back played the full 90 minutes, marking his third consecutive start for the club.

Notably, Trabzonspor have emerged victorious in all three matches Nwaiwu has featured in—two league outings and one Türkiye Kupası appearance—highlighting his immediate impact since arriving.

Calm under pressure and decisive in key moments, Nwaiwu demonstrated excellent positioning, awareness, and leadership at the heart of defence, helping the Karadeniz Fırtınası maintain control during critical phases of the contest.

His growing presence has brought renewed stability and confidence to Trabzonspor’s backline, with the defender quickly establishing himself as a trusted figure in the squad.

As the season progresses, Nwaiwu’s consistency and composure are already proving to be valuable assets in the club’s push for sustained success.
