His clinical strike ensured his place among the league’s most prolific players, as he now shares the top spot on the scorer’s chart with Ciro Immobile of Besiktas.
Despite the draw, Banza’s influence on the match was undeniable.
Moments after his equalizer, Trabzonspor briefly took the lead, only for Kasimpasa to net a late equalizer and leave the match tied at 2-2.
However, Banza’s contribution once again underlined his importance to the team, as he continues to be their primary attacking threat.
With nine goals in the league this season, Banza’s consistency has been impressive.
His scoring form has propelled him to the top of the Super Lig’s scorer standings, alongside the veteran Immobile.

Though less vocal on the international stage with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Banza’s club performances have firmly established him as one of the most dangerous forwards in Turkey.
Banza’s rise in the Super Lig is a testament to his talent and determination.
As he continues to rack up goals for Trabzonspor, he is proving that he is more than capable of competing at the highest level.
