Victor Osimhen and Paul Onuachu each continued their impressive goal-scoring form in the Turkish SuperLig, leading their teams to victories on Saturday.
Both forwards have been instrumental for their clubs this season, contributing significantly to their goal tallies across various competitions, with a substantial number of their goals coming in league matches.
In a match against ten-man Istanbul Basaksehir, Osimhen netted the final goal for the league-leading Galatasaray in a dominant 3-0 victory. Meanwhile, Onuachu was the hero for Trabzonspor, scoring the only goal in their closely contested 1-0 win against Rizespor.
After Wilfried Singo opened the scoring for Galatasaray in the 57th minute, Osimhen followed up nine minutes later with an impressive chest control in the box, before firing a powerful shot into the roof of the net.
The 27-year-old Osimhen's strike marked his 11th league goal this season, extending his scoring streak to four consecutive matches. He has also assisted or scored in each of his last nine league outings, tallying up nine goals and four assists during this period.
Onuachu made history for Trabzonspor, becoming the first player since 1992 to score in eight consecutive league matches. His goal came in the 55th minute when he calmly tapped in from close range, bringing his league total this season to 21. He is now just six goals shy of surpassing Osimhen's record from last season.
Furthermore, Onuachu has showcased his consistency by finding the back of the net in ten consecutive matches across all competitions.
As it stands, Trabzonspor sits joint-second in the league standings with 57 points from 26 matches, level with Fenerbahce but trailing on goal difference, while both clubs trail six points behind the current leaders, Galatasaray.
