Onuachu scored an incredible solo goal, but it was not enough as Trabzonspor fell 2-3 to the Turkish giants at the final of the FA Cup.

The Super Eagles striker gave his side the lead after 13 minutes of action before Rachid Ghezzal restored parity for Besiktas from the spot at the dead of the half time.

Sali Uçan gave Besiktas the lead 9 minutes after the resumption of the encounter, but Nicholas Pepe restored parity for Trabzonspor on 89 minute.

An Ali Mohamed Al-Musrati's goal after four minutes of additional time killed any event of extra time or penalties as Besiktas emerge champions for the 11th time.

It is Onuachu's 17th goal in 19 matches this season for Trabzonspor, 2 in the Turkish Cup and 15 in the league.
