Trabzonspor striker Paul Onuachu has won the Süper Lig Goal of the Season award for the 2025/26 campaign with his stunning strike against Fatih Karagümrük on September 27, 2025, PUNCH Sports Extra reports. The Nigerian forward’s spectacular bicycle kick in Trabzonspor’s 4-2 victory during the Week Seven fixture earned him the award ahead of Beşiktaş midfielder Orkun Kökçü and Fenerbahçe forward Marco Asensio. Onuachu got on the end of a cross from Wagner Pina before producing an acrobatic overhead kick that beat goalkeeper Ivo Grbić. “You chose, he won. The winner of the most beautiful goal of the 2025/26 Trendyol Süper Lig season has been determined: Paul Onuachu,” the league announced on Sunday.
