Yira Sor, Gift Orban outshine Onuachu, Nwaiwu
Retold by Oddsrama · 1 September 2026
Amedspor claimed a hard-fought Turkish Super Lig victory over Trabzonspor, with two Nigerian forwards combining to seal the win. Yira Sor levelled matters in the first-half stoppage time, converting from a loose ball after a penalty miss had left the door open for the hosts. His alertness and positioning proved crucial—spotting the rebound before anyone else and finishing decisively to make it 1–1 at the break.
Gift Orban came off the bench early in the second half as a direct replacement for the injured Sor, and made an immediate impact. The forward struck the winner in the dying moments of the match, capping a memorable afternoon for Amedspor's attacking setup and leaving Trabzonspor frustrated in defeat.
For the visitors, it was a disappointing outing despite fielding two Nigerian talents. Paul Onuachu, who shared the Turkish Super Lig's golden boot last season, continues a barren run in front of goal—now nine league matches without a goal. The prolific striker found himself starved of meaningful chances and left empty-handed. Chibuike Nwaiwu, his fellow countryman, had little to show for his night, picking up a yellow card in a forgettable display.
This result signals trouble for Trabzonspor's attacking ambitions and Onuachu's form in particular. Bettors backing the striker or the visiting side would have been disappointed; Amedspor's depth and hunger proved the difference, with their Nigerian pair outshining Trabzonspor's established names. For those tracking Onuachu's season arc, the extended goal drought is worth monitoring closely ahead of upcoming fixtures.
