Paul Onuachu remained humble despite Trabzonspor’s 2-1 statement win over reigning Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray on Saturday evening at Papara Park.
The FC Ebedei graduate opened the scoring against The Lion in the fourth minute, expertly bending low to head in a delivery from Wagner Pina, taking his league tally to 22 goals in 25 appearances.
After Wilfried Singo equalised in the 48th minute, newly-capped Nigeria international Chibuike Nwaiwu stepped up with the match-winner, heading home a cross from Anthony Nwakaeme, who made a rare start for Trabzonspor.
