Super Eagles attacker Paul Onuachu who recently joined Trabzonspor from Southampton shares the pitch with Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana…

Manchester United loanee André Onana produced a moment of magic in the Turkish Süper Lig on Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports. 

The Cameroonian delivered a 60-yard assist for compatriot Paul Onuachu to snatch a 1–1 draw for Trabzonspor against Gaziantep in Trabzon.

The visitors stunned the home crowd in the 39th minute when Kévin Rodrigues broke the deadlock, finishing off a well-worked move to put Gaziantep in front.

Trabzonspor, who had struggled to turn possession into clear chances, went into the break chasing the game.

The turning point arrived midway through the second half. Onana, under little pressure in his own half, spotted Onuachu peeling off the Gaziantep backline.

The Manchester United goalkeeper launched an inch-perfect long ball over 60 yards, which Onuachu controlled expertly before slotting home in the 70th minute.

Trabzonspor pressed hard for a late winner, with Oleksandr Zubkov and Enis Bardhi both coming close, but Gaziantep’s defensive resilience and sharp goalkeeping denied Abdullah Avcı’s men all three points.

The result leaves Trabzonspor frustrated, as they drop points at home for the second time this season, while Gaziantep can take pride in a disciplined display and a hard-earned point on the road.
