Super Eagles<\/a> striker Paul Onuachu<\/a> failed to find the target as Trabzonspor were held to a frustrating 1-1 home draw against Basaksehir, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bAfter missing last week\u2019s stalemate at Alanyaspor, Onuachu returned to the starting lineup at Papara Park. Heading into the fixture, Trabzonspor sat third in the S\u00fcper Lig, trailing leaders Galatasaray by six points. A victory was essential to remain within striking distance of the Cimbom.<\/p>\n \u200bBasaksehir, meanwhile, arrived with their own ambitions, desperate for points to keep their hopes of continental football alive. With both sides having much to play for, a cagey encounter was expected.<\/p>\n \u200bThe Black Sea Storm featured a trio of Nigerian talent, with Chibuike Nwaiwu, Onuachu, and Anthony Nwakaeme all handed starts. <\/p>\n They dominated possession from the outset and, after a quiet opening 15 minutes, began carving out quality opportunities. Onuachu had two clear sights of goal in the 14th and 18th minutes, but neither effort found the back of the net. Despite several promising exchanges from both sides, the first half ended goalless.<\/p>\n \u200bThe second half followed a similar pattern. Trabzonspor controlled the tempo, with Onuachu and Nwakaeme both squandering gilt-edged chances within the first 15 minutes of the restart.<\/p>\n \u200bThe deadlock was finally broken in the 73rd minute. However, it wasn\u2019t Onuachu who provided the breakthrough, but his strike partner, Felipe Augusto. While it appeared Trabzonspor would coast to a narrow victory, a late header from Davie Selke leveled the scores, ensuring the points were shared.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8 Davie Selke 90\u2032 +3<\/p>\n \ud83c\uddf9\ud83c\uddf7 Trabzonspor 1-1 Ba\u015fak\u015fehirpic.twitter.com\/obmMs7dh0g<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/MyjXsAcCfDetWiyyGulHY6E36_8=\/1024x728\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2025%2F06%2Fimago1045561206.jpg\")
