Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen earned his first start for Galatasaray with a stunning goal as he led the team’s attack to a 5-0 victory over Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
Osimhen wasted no time in making an impression for his new club, scoring a decisive header in his debut match against Rizespor.
The 25-year-old Nigerian international, who joined the Turkish giants from Napoli in a high-profile transfer, showcased his aerial ability by finding the back of the net with a well-placed header to double Galatasaray’s lead.
Osimhen’s goal came just 25 minutes into the match, building on an earlier header from teammate Davidson Sanchez that had opened the scoring in the 3rd minute.
The stage was set for Osimhen to make an immediate impact, with two other Nigerian players – Rizespor’s Olawoyin Ibrahim and David Akintola – also featuring in the clash.
After a cagey start, Galatasaray quickly took control of the encounter, and Osimhen was eager to impress in his maiden outing for the club.
The transfer to Galatasaray came with high expectations for Osimhen, who has already established himself as a key figure for the Nigerian national team.
