Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu etched his name in Trabzonspor history on Saturday evening, scoring a brace as the Claret-Blues secured a 3-0 victory over Samsunspor at the 19 Mayıs Stadium.
Onuachu, who has been in exceptional form this season, headed home a precise cross from Albanian forward Ernest Muçi in the first half to give Trabzonspor the lead.
The Nigerian international doubled his tally in the final nine minutes, calmly converting an assist from Okay Yokuşlu.
Albanian forward Ernest Muçi also extended the lead deep into stoppage time, slotting home a penalty with composure.
The goal brought his season total to 16 in 20 appearances across all competitions since joining Clarets-Blue from Premier League side Southampton in the summer.
It also made Onuachu the first foreign player in Trabzonspor’s history to score in both league meetings against Samsunspor in a single Süper Lig season, according to Opta Can.
The Nigerian International had previously scored in the 1-1 draw against Samsunspor at Papara Park on August 31, 2025.
With the win, Trabzonspor remain third in the Super Lig with 45 points from 21 matches, closing the gap on Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.
The Black Sea Storm sit just one point behind Fenerbahçe and four points shy of league leaders Galatasaray.
