Osimhen Shines with Two Assists in Galatasaray Victory
In a recent match, Galatasaray secured a 5-1 league victory against Eyupspor, with head coach Okan Buruk commenting on Victor Osimhen's performance. Although Osimhen did not score, he provided two crucial assists, including a brilliant cross for Yunu Akgun's opening goal in the first minute.
This match marked Osimhen's third assist of the season, emphasizing his valuable role as a playmaker. Buruk noted that Osimhen's contributions were significant in helping the team achieve victory.
The Nigerian forward played alongside Mauro Icardi, who scored a hat-trick, despite initial skepticism regarding their pairing. Turkish commentator Nihat Kahveci expressed admiration for Osimhen's display and predicted he might surpass Icardi as Galatasaray's top foreign scorer.
Looking ahead, Galatasaray is set to face Istanbul in the UEFA competition return leg the following week, while Osimhen's impressive performances have attracted interest from Spanish club Barcelona.
