Paris FC’s Moses Simon and Trabzonspor’s Paul Onuachu made headlines on Sunday, August 31, with goals that underscored their growing importance in their respective European clubs. Simon, who recently joined newly promoted Paris FC, continued his impressive form in France’s Ligue 1, scoring and assisting in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Metz at Stade Jean-Bouin.
The match saw Paris FC trail early but respond with Simon providing a precise assist to Ilan Kebbal, who scored twice. Simon then secured the win with a composed finish in the 67th minute following an assist from Maxime Lopez. His dynamic performance earned him a standing ovation as he was substituted in the 90th minute. The 30-year-old winger has now contributed two goals and one assist in three league appearances, reinforcing his value in Paris FC’s fight for top-flight survival. “Moses has quickly settled at Paris and his impact on the pitch speaks for itself,” praised a club official.
Meanwhile, in Turkey’s Süper Lig, Onuachu, who completed a permanent transfer from Southampton this summer, continued to impress for Trabzonspor. He opened the scoring with a flying header expertly delivered from Oleksandr Zubkov’s cross in their 1-1 draw against Samsunspor at Papara Park. Although the visitors fought back to level late in the game, Onuachu’s presence will be crucial as Trabzonspor chase the league title, currently sitting second with 10 points from four matches.
Onuachu’s aerial prowess and goal-scoring ability have quickly made him a fan favourite at Trabzonspor. “His energy and precision in front of goal are proving vital for our campaign,” stated the club’s coach.
