Paul Onuachu changed the game in the second minute of first half stoppage time with a close-range header, as Trabzonspor beat Kayserispor 3-1. He added a penalty in the seventh minute of first half stoppage time to seize control.

Onuachu became the focal point after Dorukhan Tokoz was sent off in the eighth minute, using his size to pin defenders and win aerial duels.

On the stroke of half time he met Wagner Pina's cross with a glancing header from very close range. Minutes later, he converted from the spot after a handball, completing a ruthless burst before the interval.

He later fired over from the centre of the box (65.). The Nigeria international finished with five attempts, seven touches in the area and five aerials won, plus two clearances and five ball recoveries, underlining his dominance in both boxes.

The display leaves him on 20 Süper Lig goals, first in the scoring chart. Trabzonspor host Çaykur Rizespor next, while Kayserispor visit Samsunspor.
