Trabzonspor have the best defensive record in the Süper Lig after the first seven matches, conceding just five goals. Goalkeeper Onana's exceptional form, averaging four saves per game, has been the foundation of this solidity.

The Cameroonian keeper has instilled confidence in the back line. Onana said his "magnificent save performance of 4.0 per game, alongside the defensive players, has been one of the architects of this success while giving confidence to the team." This defensive discipline has propelled the Black Sea Storm to fifth place in the table with 13 points.

The team's last match was a 3-0 victory over Samsunspor. With three wins in their last five games, Trabzonspor remain in the title race, just three points behind leaders Galatasaray.

The next major test is a home fixture against second-placed Beşiktaş on 18 October. This defensive resilience will be their greatest asset in the challenging campaign ahead.
