Onana started in goal for Trabzonspor in the Turkish Cup final against Konyaspor.

The Cameroonian had little to do in the first half as his side took the lead.

Early in the second half, he pushed the ball onto the post, but the rebound eventually fell to Jackson Muleka, who twisted and fired an effort into the bottom corner, leaving Onana stranded.

Onana also faced a penalty, but luckily for his side, the Konyaspor effort crashed off the crossbar.

The United keeper then made a smart point-blank stop from the rebound to keep his team level.

As the minutes ticked into the last ten, Onana also pulled off an important stop from a long-distance effort.

Onana and his side had a massive escape in the last seconds when a header from a free kick clipped the outside of the post after the keeper was left rooted to his spot.

The victory was Trabzonspor’s 10th cup victory and their first since 2020.

Statistics

Onana made three saves, with two coming from inside the box.

The keeper also made two high claims to alleviate the pressure from his defence.

He also won 100% of his aerial duels, but had a low passing accuracy of 40% as all of his passes were long passes in the final.

Future

Onana is unlikely to return to Old Trafford in any permanent sense this summer, as the club is delighted with the impact Senne Lammens has had.

Trabzonspor’s president has already stated that the club would love to loan Onana again, but it is unclear whether United would entertain that type of deal or demand a sale.
