September 27, (THEWILL) — Trabzonspor claimed a thrilling 4-3 victory over Fatih Karagümrük on Saturday. Paul Onuachu starred with two goals for the visitors, including a penalty conversion, while Felipe Augusto and substitute Danylo Sikan completed the scoring tally. The hosts mounted a spirited response through Tiago Çukur and David Fofana’s late double, though their efforts proved insufficient.
The opening period delivered an entertaining spectacle with four goals changing hands. Felipe Augusto broke the deadlock in the 19th minute with a close-range finish before Çukur equalised nine minutes later amid a scramble inside the penalty area. Onuachu restored the visitors’ advantage on 35 minutes with a well-taken strike, then doubled his personal tally from the penalty spot eight minutes into first-half stoppage time following VAR confirmation.
Trabzonspor appeared to have settled the contest when substitute Sikan found the net in the 88th minute, extending their lead to 4-1. The match seemed destined for a comfortable away victory, but stoppage time provided extraordinary drama when David Fofana, introduced in the 66th minute, transformed the finale with two quick-fire goals.
His first arrived in the 92nd minute with a sharp finish, immediately followed by another effort just one minute later to reduce the deficit to a single goal. Despite the intense pressure during the additional minutes, Trabzonspor’s defensive resolve held firm to claim the maximum three points.
The result was proof of Trabzonspor’s clinical edge in front of goal against opponents who refused to surrender until the final whistle.
