555

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen led Galatasaray to a thrilling 3-2 victory over Samsunspor on Sunday with a stunning two-goal performance.

The Super Eagles forward dedicated his goals to injured teammate Mauro Icardi, showcasing his team spirit and camaraderie.

Osimhen opened the scoring just three minutes into the match with a powerful header, setting the tone for Galatasaray’s dominant display.

The Nigerian’s early strike gave his team the momentum they needed to dictate the pace of the game.

In the 55th minute, Osimhen struck again, doubling Galatasaray’s lead and cementing his status as the match’s standout performer.

Michy Batshuayi scored a third goal, seemingly putting the game beyond Samsunspor’s reach.

However, Samsunspor refused to give up, scoring two goals to narrow the gap and create a tense finale.

Despite their valiant effort, Galatasaray held on for the 3-2 win, securing an important victory that owed largely to Osimhen’s brilliance.

After the match, Osimhen dedicated his goals to injured teammate Mauro Icardi, demonstrating his team spirit and commitment to his colleagues.

The Nigerian’s impressive performance will undoubtedly boost Galatasaray’s confidence as they continue their push for success in the Turkish league.
