I was born ready, reacted the former Manchester United goalkeeper after the game.
André Onana, the goalkeeper loaned by Manchester United to Trabzonspor , returned to his glory days by saving three penalties in the shootout that secured his team’s qualification for the Turkish Cup semi-finals.
The match at Samsunspor’s home ground, featuring Portuguese player Afonso Sousa (who came on in the 89th minute), ended goalless, leading to a penalty shootout to decide the tie.
Then, Onana saved shots from Lubomir Satka, former FC Porto player Marius, and Yunus Cift, proving decisive in Trabzonspor’s 3-1 victory.
We are very happy with the victory and for having reached the semi=finals (of the Cup). I was born prepared. I’m always ready, or at least I try to be. But what makes me happiest is the team’s victory, commented the 30-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper after the game.
