Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu continued his sensational scoring streak on Sunday, netting the decisive goal in Trabzonspor’s 2-1 victory over Gaziantep in the Süper Lig.

Onuachu has now scored in five consecutive Süper Lig matches, marking the longest scoring streak of his Trabzonspor career across his two spells at the club.

His previous personal best was a run of four successive league games between 20 September and 18 October 2025, when he scored against Gaziantep FK, Fatih Karagümrük, Kayserispor and Çaykur Rizespor.

The encounter burst into life midway through the first half, producing three goals in a frantic five-minute spell.

Gaziantep drew first blood in the 22nd minute when Mohamed Bayo reacted quickest inside the box, finishing from very close range to hand the hosts a 1-0 advantage.

Trabzonspor responded almost immediately. Just two minutes later, Felipe Augusto restored parity with a well-taken left-footed strike from the right side of the area, beating the goalkeeper to make it 1-1 in the 24th minute.

The turnaround was completed in the 27th minute, and it was Onuachu who once again proved decisive. T

he 31-year-old forward positioned himself perfectly in the centre of the box before dispatching a right-footed finish to put Trabzonspor ahead.

His clinical effort sealed what ultimately stood as the winning goal, capping a blistering first-half surge from the visitors.

The goal takes his tally to 17 in 20 league appearances, further strengthening his position among the division’s most prolific scorers.

In doing so, he has already eclipsed the 15 goals he managed in 21 league outings during his previous loan spell at the club in the 2023/24 campaign.
