Simon Banza bolstered his chances of finishing as the Turkish Süper Lig’s top scorer after finding the net and providing an assist in Trabzonspor’s 2-0 victory over İstanbul Başakşehir on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Banza Ends Goal Drought in Style
After two consecutive league matches without a goal, the Congolese forward rediscovered his scoring touch with a clinical finish in the first half.
His strike gave Trabzonspor the lead before he turned provider, setting up the second goal to secure a crucial away win for the Bordo-Mavi.
Banza’s performance highlighted his importance to the team, as he continues to be the focal point of their attacking play.
Chasing the Top Scorer Title
The 27-year-old’s impressive form has propelled him into the race for the Turkish league’s Golden Boot.
He has now netted 19 goals across all competitions this season, along with two assists, keeping pace with some of the league’s biggest names, including Victor Osimhen and Krzysztof Piątek.
As Trabzonspor push for a European qualification spot, Banza’s consistency in front of goal will be vital for their ambitions.
With his sharp finishing and playmaking ability, the Congolese international remains one of the most in-form strikers in Turkey.
