Ogenyi Onazi Dedicates First Season Goal to Newborn Daughter Makayla

Super Eagles vice-captain Ogenyi Onazi has marked a poignant moment in his football career by dedicating his first Turkish League goal of the season to his daughter, Makayla. The touching gesture reflects the joy and significance of the arrival of his first child, as he shared this personal milestone with fans and followers.

Onazi’s wife, Sandra, gave birth to their daughter in August, and his dedication came on the football pitch as he played a pivotal role for Trabzonspor. In the game against Genclerbirligi, Onazi entered as a substitute in the 88th minute, replacing Burak Yilmaz. In the 90th minute, he not only put the icing on the cake but also secured a 3-1 victory for Trabzonspor at the Senol Guneş Stadium on Sunday.

This goal marked Onazi’s first of the season, a significant moment as he stepped onto the field for the second time in this campaign. Moreover, it ended a goal drought of 41 games, dating back to his brace in Trabzonspor’s 2-0 win over Kasimpasa on August 20, 2016. Onazi celebrated his achievement and the team’s triumph with a heartfelt tweet from his official Twitter handle, @OnaziOgenyi, expressing gratitude for the three points and the wonderful gift to his daughter, Makayla.

As Onazi continues his remarkable journey in the Turkish Super Lig, he is set to make his third appearance for Trabzonspor in their upcoming clash against Istanbul Basaksehir. The team currently holds the fourth position in the Turkish Super Lig standings, amassing seven points from their first four games. Ogenyi Onazi’s touching dedication reminds us that footballers are not just athletes but also loving family members with a deep sense of connection beyond the pitch.
