Super Eagles striker
Victor Osimhen was in imperious form for his Turkish side,
Galatasaray, as he bagged his first goals for the club in a 3-3 draw with Kasimpasa
on Saturday evening.
Osimhen has started life in Turkey on a high following his loan
move from Napoli, recording four assists in three games, and has
now added goals to his overall contributions to the team.
He was practically unplayable on the night, starting the game
and scoring in the 20th minute from an Abdülkerim Bardakcı
assist.

Osimhen then added another with a fantastic finish after a
brilliant ball by Ismail Jakobs in the 34th minute.
He was later replaced by Dries Mertens as Galatasaray threw away
a three-goal lead to share the spoils.
In total, Osimhen has scored 2 goals and provided four assists
for Galatasaray since joining them on loan from the Italian side
Napoli.
Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo was involved for Kasimpasa
in the game, coming on as a first-half substitute to shore up the
defence for the away side.
Galatasaray are top of Turkey’s Super Lig with 19 points from
seven games.
Victor Osimhen’s numbers vs
Kasimpasa
The Nigerian striker played 45 minutes and made a major impact,
scoring two goals – his first since joining the club.
He also had two shots on target and one blocked shot. Osimhen
had 11 touches and completed 2 out of 5 of his passes, though this
did not negatively impact his game.
He won just one of his four ground duels, while he won one of
his two aerial duels.
Unfortunately, after his departure from the pitch, his team
capitulated and threw away their three goal advantage and could
only take one point from a game that looked well done and dusted
after 30 minutes.
