Osimhen showcased his exceptional skills with a breathtaking overhead kick that secured a commanding 3-0 victory for Galatasaray against Antalyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
Victor Osimhen, 25, had been on the sidelines for two weeks due to a hamstring injury that kept him from participating in crucial matches.
However, his comeback was nothing short of spectacular. Coming off the bench, Osimhen provided a moment of sheer brilliance that left fans and commentators in awe of his athleticism.
His acrobatic goal unfolded in the closing stages of the match, perfectly encapsulating Galatasaray’s dominant performance throughout the game.
As the ball floated in from a well-placed cross, Osimhen displayed remarkable agility and timing, contorting his body mid-air to connect powerfully with the ball. The strike flew past the helpless Antalyaspor goalkeeper, adding an exclamation mark to an already impressive display by his team.
This remarkable goal marked Osimhen’s third goal and fourth assist in just five appearances for Galatasaray since he joined the club on a high-profile loan from Napoli during the summer transfer window.
His immediate impact has emphatically validated Galatasaray’s decision to invest in him while solidifying his reputation as one of Nigeria’s top football talents.
His return to fitness and form is a significant boost for Galatasaray and the Nigeria national team. Recall that Osimhen missed Nigeria’s recent Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya due to his injury—a match that proved challenging for the Super Eagles, who struggled to find their rhythm and ultimately secured a narrow victory with a solitary goal from Fisayo Dele-Bashiru at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
