Onuachu throws title challenge to Galatasaray
Turkish Super Lig leading scorer Paul Onuachu has thrown a huge championship challenge to leaders and defending champions Galatasaray.
This was after he scored his first-ever goal against the Istanbul giants to help Trabzonspor win 2-1 at home and throw the title wide open with six rounds of matches to the end of the season.
Onuachu scored his ninth headed goal of the season to inspire a home victory that has now taken Trabzonspor within a point of Galatasaray.
Galatasaray have a game in hand, a rescheduled fixture against Goztepe Wednesday, and Onuachu said he expects them to drop points, while Trabzonspor keep pushing forward.
“From now on, we have tough matches ahead of us. Every match is different; we’ll take it one game at a time and go out on the pitch to win them all,” vowed Onuachu, who has netted 22 goals and made two assists thus far.
“Goztepe are a strong team, they can take points from Galatasaray.
“We’ll win and continue on our way.”
Trabzonspor were last crowned champions of Turkey four years ago.
They are now second in the standings with 63 points from 28 games, a point behind Galatasaray, who play an outstanding match away at Goztepe Wednesday.
Trabzonspor will next be guests of Alanyaspor Saturday.

Galatasaray President has made it clear they do not plan to sell Victor Osimhen even if a club came up with the right price for the star striker.
Galatasaray President Dursun Ozbek told Fotomac that the Turkish champions hope to keep the Super Eagles striker for “many years” despite rife speculations he could make a major transfer this summer.
Fotomac: If a €150 million offer comes in for Victor Osimhen, would you be open to negotiations?
Galatasaray President: We didn’t buy Osimhen to sell him! He’s a player who adds great value to Galatasaray and loves Galatasaray very much. We want him to serve Galatasaray for many years to come. Osimhen is also very happy at Galatasaray.
Lucky Ezeh has said he hopes for success at new Czech club Zbrojovka Brno.
The 22-year-old forward has moved from Karvina, where he scored nine goals in 34 appearances last season.
“The move to Zbrojovka is a big step for my career,” Ezeh said.
“During my talks with the club’s representatives, I got the impression that a very interesting project is being created in Brno and that Zbrojovka is strengthening on all fronts.
“I am pleased to be part of a team full of great football players and to work under the leadership of excellent coaches. I believe that together we will achieve great success.”
Zbrojovka sports director Martin Jiranek said Ezeh will be a great addition.
“He is a striker with great potential who has experience from the first league,” he remarked.
“He is hardworking, honest in his approach to training and matches and has the potential for further performance growth. We expect him to increase the competition in the offensive.”
English Championship side Southampton have announced that Super Eagles midfielder Joe Aribo has been released at the expiry of his contract.
Aribo, 29, has endured four rather difficult years at ‘The Saints’ after he joined up from Scottish giants Rangers in 2022.
Last winter, he played on loan at Leicester City in search of more regular first-team football.
He can now join another club as a free agent.
