Onuachu has scored against against ten different teams namely Zulte Waregem, Beerschot V.A, KV Mechelen, KV Oostende, Waasl.-Beveren, RSC Charleroi, KAS Eupen, Mouscron, Cercle Brugge and Antwerp.
In third place is Royal Antwerp's DR Congo striker Dieumerci Mbokani who netted 13 goals after 15 rounds during the 2019-2020 season.
