Onuachu Sets Up Salah in Trabzonspor’s Win Over Alanyaspor

Paul Onuachu assisted Mohamed Salah in Trabzonspor’s 2-0 win over Alanyaspor, their sixth consecutive victory in the Turkish league. The contribution came days after the Nigerian striker praised Salah’s experience and impact on the team.

Onuachu had spoken about Salah’s importance after Trabzonspor’s 1-0 loss to Freiburg in the Conference League, saying that the Egyptian player’s experience adds a lot to the team and that working with a star of his calibre is something everyone aspires to.

Against Alanyaspor, Ernest Muçi played the ball to Onuachu, who laid it off for Salah. The Egyptian evaded Nuno Lima’s challenge before shooting into the bottom corner in the 34th minute, doubling his team’s lead after Wagner Pina had opened the scoring in the 17th minute, assisted by Nigerian defender Chibuike Nwaiwu.

It was Onuachu’s first assist in the league for Trabzonspor this season. The win took the team to 25 points from 11 matches in second place, three points behind leaders Galatasaray.
