Trabzonspor 5-0 Gençlerbirliği Player Ratings: Demolition Job At Papara Park As Trabzonspor's Five-Star Performance Makes Gençlerbirliği Pay Heavily

Trabzonspor bounced back from their latest defeat against Amed Sportif to thrash 6th-placed Gençlerbirliği at the Papara Park to make it two wins in the new edition of the Turkish Super Lig. The floodgates opened in the 5th minute, when Paul Onuachu headed in a lovely cross from Aral Simsir to put the hosts in the lead.

Chibuike Nwaiwu was fouled in the penalty area by Firatcan Uzum, resulting in a penalty for Trabzonspor in the 11th minute. Mohamed Salah finished the spot-kick into the right bottom corner to double the lead for his team in just 14 minutes.

Onuachu had his second just eight minutes later, as he slotted it home from Wagner Pina's assist. The second half saw more of the same from the home side, despite Gençlerbirliği keeping more possession and showing some more bravery towards creating meaningful chances.

Ernest Muçi added a fourth for Trabzonspor, with an assist from Mohamed Salah, while Franculino scored the final goal to end a five-star performance.
