Onuachu shows support for Salah with key assist in match win

Paul Onuachu has shown how important Mohamed Salah is to Trabzonspor. The Nigerian striker helped Salah score during their 2-0 win over Alanyaspor. This match took place on Sunday and marked Trabzonspor's sixth straight victory in the Turkish Super Lig.

Just days before this game, Onuachu had praised Salah. He called the former Liverpool star a big influence on the team after Trabzonspor lost 1-0 to Freiburg in the UEFA Conference League last Thursday. Onuachu talked about how Salah’s experience helps the squad.

“Everyone wants to work with a star like Salah. He is a world star. He adds a lot to us with his experience,” Onuachu said.

Those words showed on the field against Alanyaspor. In the 34th minute, Onuachu assisted Salah to score again, giving Trabzonspor a bigger lead. After getting a pass from Ernest Muçi, Onuachu flicked the ball to Salah. The Egyptian dodged a sliding tackle from Nuno Lima and scored by placing the ball into the bottom corner.

Wagner Pina had already scored the first goal in the 17th minute with an assist from Nigerian defender Chibuike Nwaiwu. Onuachu’s assist was his first in the league for Trabzonspor this season. It also highlighted the growing chemistry between him and Salah.

With this win, Trabzonspor climbed to second place in the league with 25 points from 11 matches. They are now three points behind leaders Galatasaray. This victory was a good response after their recent loss in Europe.
