Trabzonspor leads Group A in Turkish Cup

With this comprehensive win, Trabzonspor took the top spot in Group A of the Turkish Cup, leaving Alanyaspor trailing behind.

Fatih Karagumruk, who triumphed over Rizespor 1-0, follows closely in second place.

The competition’s early stages promise more excitement, with Trabzonspor showing confidence following their recent setback, a narrow 2-1 defeat to Samsunspor in their last outing.

Looking ahead, Nwakaeme and his teammates now turn their focus to their upcoming Super Lig clash against Antalyaspor on Sunday, determined to carry their momentum from this commanding cup victory into their league campaign.
