…Surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo with height of 2.41 meters

Super Eagles forward, Paul Ebere Onuachu has set a new record in world football by scoring the highest overhead kick goal.

Standing at 6 feet 8 inches tall, Onuachu (31) executed an acrobatic finish for Trabzonspor against Karagümrük in a Turkish Super Lig match on Saturday, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo’s 2.38 meters, with a height of 2.41 meters.

He scored two goals in the match against Karagümrük, bringing his total to 24 goals in a Trabzonspor jersey, making him the 10th highest-scoring foreign player in the club’s history.

After the match, Onuachu expressed his happiness about the team’s three-point victory, saying, “First of all, I’d like to congratulate my teammates on the three points. I’m happy that the team won, and I’m also pleased that I scored. Today was a good match for us. The only downside was our lack of concentration that led to conceding a goal.”

When asked about his remarkable overhead kick, Onuachu commented, “I watched the goal I scored again. It’s good that you reminded me of it, and I also recalled the goal I scored against Konyaspor. I need to review both, but I would say that the goal against Konyaspor was better than the one I scored today. If I had to describe the goal, it was instinctive because I had to make a quick decision. I believed that move was the right one. It was a split-second decision. While it was a good shot and a good goal, I still need to watch them again to decide which goal was the best, but the one against Konyaspor seems a bit better. I’ll make my decision after reviewing it again.”
