Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu was on target for Trabzonspor. Still, his goal wasn’t enough to secure their 10th Turkish Cup title as Besiktas came from behind to win 3-2 in a pulsating encounter.
Onuachu put Trabzonspor ahead in the 13th minute with an impressive solo goal. He expertly evaded his marker inside his own half, swiftly carrying the ball into the opponent’s box and powering it past the goalkeeper.
