Onuachu Assists Salah as Trabzonspor Extend Winning Run to Six Matches

Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu combined with Mohamed Salah to help Trabzonspor secure a 2-0 victory over Alanyaspor, extending their winning streak in the Turkish Super Lig to six matches.

Onuachu provided the assist for Salah’s goal in the 34th minute, delivering a significant contribution just days after praising the Egyptian forward’s influence and experience within the team.

The Nigerian had spoken about Salah following Trabzonspor’s 1-0 defeat to Freiburg in the UEFA Conference League last Thursday, describing the former Liverpool star as an important figure in the squad.

“Everyone wants to work with a star like Salah. He is a world star. He adds a lot to us with his experience,” Onuachu said.

His praise was followed by an impressive moment of understanding on the pitch against Alanyaspor. After receiving a through ball from Ernest Muçi, Onuachu flicked the ball into Salah’s path, allowing the Egyptian to evade a sliding challenge from Nuno Lima before calmly finishing into the bottom corner.

Trabzonspor had taken the lead in the 17th minute through Wagner Pina, who was set up by Nigerian defender Chibuike Nwaiwu.

The assist was Onuachu’s first league assist for Trabzonspor this season and highlighted the growing attacking connection between the Nigerian striker and Salah.

The victory lifted Trabzonspor to second place in the league standings with 25 points from 11 matches, three points behind leaders Galatasaray.

The result also provided a domestic response to their European defeat to Freiburg, as Trabzonspor continued their impressive run in the Turkish top flight.
