Trabzonspor captured the 2026 Turkish Cup on Friday, May 22, defeating Konyaspor in the final at a neutral venue in Turkey.
The Black Sea Storm secured their 10th Ziraat Türkiye Kupası title after a decisive performance that featured Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu leading the line. The 31-year-old forward, who joined Trabzonspor permanently from Southampton last summer, started the match and played a key role in the club’s cup run this season.
The final marked the third meeting between the two sides this season. Trabzonspor won the first league clash 3-1, while Konyaspor took the second 2-1 in March 2026. Onuachu entered Friday’s showpiece with two Turkish Cup goals in the 2025/26 campaign and 22 league goals overall. He had previously starred in the competition with strikes against Fethiyespor in February and a late winner versus İstanbul BB in the group stage.
The victory caps a prolific season for Onuachu, who revived his scoring form after a difficult spell in England. The 2.01-meter striker tallied 24 goals in 34 appearances for Trabzonspor since his permanent move in June 2025.
