Konyaspor's head coach, İlhan Palut, stated that his team prioritized nullifying Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu over Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah during a recent match. Palut explained that his team focused on blocking service to Onuachu during preparations for the Turkish Super Lig victory against Trabzonspor. The Nigerian striker, who started and played the full match, struggled to score, finishing without a single shot and 15 touches, only two of which occurred inside the Konyaspor penalty area.
Despite managing to avoid conceding, Konyaspor avenged their 2026 Turkish Cup final defeat to Trabzonspor and ended a four-match league losing streak. Onuachu is expected to be available for the Super Eagles' 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after recovering from an injury sustained in Trabzonspor's previous league match.
