Paul Onuachu has been named winner of the Turkish Süper Lig Goal of the Season award after a spectacular strike during Trabzonspor’s 4-2 victory over Fatih Karagümrük last September.
The award recognises the Nigerian forward’s remarkable scissor-kick finish, which stood out as one of the most eye-catching moments of the Turkish top-flight campaign. The goal had already been voted the league’s Goal of the Month for September, before going on to receive further acclaim as the best strike of the entire season in the Turkish Süper Lig.
Onuachu’s goal came in a high-scoring encounter in which Trabzonspor secured a 4-2 win, with the forward’s acrobatic effort proving to be a defining highlight of the match. The finish demonstrated both technical precision and athletic execution, as he met the ball in mid-air to produce a scissor-kick that left defenders and goalkeeper with little chance of response.
The recognition adds another individual honour to Onuachu’s growing reputation in Turkish football, where he has become known for his physical presence, aerial strength and finishing ability. Despite his imposing height, he showed impressive agility and coordination to execute the award-winning strike, underlining the variety in his attacking skill set.
Trabzonspor, one of Turkey’s most prominent clubs, benefited from Onuachu’s decisive contributions throughout the season, with the forward frequently playing a central role in their attacking play. The goal against Fatih Karagümrük in particular has remained a standout moment for supporters and analysts alike, not only for its aesthetic quality but also for its importance in the match itself.
The Süper Lig award highlights the consistency of recognition the goal has received since September, having first been selected as the league’s best effort for that month before being elevated to the season’s top honour. It reflects the broader impact of individual moments of brilliance in shaping the narrative of a football campaign.
For Onuachu, the award serves as further validation of his impact in front of goal and his ability to deliver decisive moments in key matches. His performances have continued to draw attention in Turkish football, where striking ability and physical dominance remain key attributes for forwards operating at the highest level.
The Nigerian international’s achievement also adds to a growing list of notable performances since joining Trabzonspor, with his contribution against Fatih Karagümrük now officially recognised as the most outstanding goal of the season across the league.
As the Turkish Süper Lig continues to showcase attacking talent from across the world, Onuachu’s scissor-kick stands out as a defining highlight of the campaign, combining technical excellence with match significance in a single moment of brilliance.
