Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen made headlines on Saturday by scoring his first goals for Galatasaray even though his team drew with Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig.
Osimhen’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, as he netted two goals in the first half.
His first goal came in the 20th minute, showcasing his striking ability with a clinical finish that put Galatasaray ahead.
Just eight minutes later, he doubled the lead with an exquisite strike that left fans in awe.
Galatasaray’s Mauro Icardi joined the scoring spree in the 34th minute, making it a comfortable 3-0 for the home side.
Kasimpasa managed to pull three back later in the match forcing a draw.
Osimhen’s contribution was particularly remarkable considering he appeared to be injured during the match.
He had initially signaled to the bench for a substitution but continued to play through the discomfort.
His determination to finish the first half alongside his teammates was a testament to his commitment and competitive spirit.
This match marks a significant milestone for Osimhen, as it is his first time finding the back of the net since joining Galatasaray from Napoli.
Since arriving at the club, he has also provided three assists, demonstrating his ability to contribute to the team in multiple ways.
Before his move to Galatasaray, Osimhen had a stellar season with Napoli, playing 25 Serie A matches, scoring 15 goals, and assisting three times.
His impressive resume also includes successful stints at Lille in France and Charleroi in Belgium, where he established himself as a lethal forward.
Osimhen’s transition to Turkish football has been closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
His speed, strength, and scoring ability make him a formidable player in any league.
The excitement surrounding his arrival at Galatasaray was palpable, and his early goals have only intensified the enthusiasm of the supporters.
As the season progresses, Osimhen is expected to play a crucial role in Galatasaray’s pursuit of the Turkish Super Lig title.
His partnership with Icardi and other key players will be vital for the team’s success.
After the match, Osimhen expressed his delight at scoring his first goals for the club.
“I’m very happy to contribute to the team’s victory. Scoring goals is what I love to do,” he said.
