Andre Onana

The Cameroonian keeper could do little to prevent Trabzonspor falling to a 1-2 defeat to Konyaspor.

Onana was the hero midweek as his side progressed to the semi-final of the cup with a huge helping hand from the keeper. He saved an impressive three penalties in the shootout and also kept a clean sheet during regular time.

In the league match yesterday, he was also involved with four stops, with three shots coming from inside the area. Onana will be disappointed with the first goal he conceded, though, as he parried the ball from a long-range shot right into the path of Burkan Kutlu, who headed home the rebound.

The 30-year-old also did not cover himself in glory when he dived too low and was beaten at his near post by the same player just before half-time. The United keeper conceded a third late on when he could not prevent the ball landing in the bottom corner, but the effort was finally concluded to be offside.

He completed 87% of his passes but did not make any high claims, clearances, or win any duels during his side’s damaging defeat.
