Paul Onuachu rescues point for Trabzonspor in Antalya stalemate

Paul Onuachu’s goal helped Trabzonspor hold Antalyaspor to a 1-1 draw at the Antalya Stadium in the Turkish Süper Lig on Friday.

​In a match defined by missed opportunities, Onuachu’s presence ensured the visitors didn’t leave empty-handed, though his night was nearly marred by a missed chance from the penalty spot earlier in the contest.

​Antalyaspor broke the deadlock through Sander van de Streek in the first half, as he capitalized on a defensive lapse to take a 1-0 lead. The visitors, however, leveled the scoreline in the second half after the referee pointed to the spot in the 53rd minute.

​Drama continued in the 81st minute when the Nigerian international missed a crucial opportunity from the spot to send his side ahead.

Despite the miss, the draw solidifies the Trabzon-based club’s position in the top three of the Turkish Süper Lig standings. Onuachu now has 13 goals this season, moving him level with league leading scorer Eldor Shomurodov of İstanbul Başakşehir.
