Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen continued his impressive form in the Turkish Super Lig, netting his 10th league goal of the season as Galatasaray secured a 2-1 victory over Göztepe on Saturday.

Osimhen opened the scoring from the penalty spot just 10 minutes into the match, helping Okan Buruk’s side to a crucial win.

However, what made the goal even more special was the celebration that followed.

Osimhen dedicated his goal to Tony and Toby Elumelu, the 10-year-old twin sons of Nigerian business tycoon Tony Elumelu, as a birthday tribute.

The twins had requested the celebration in honor of their 10th birthday, and Osimhen fulfilled their wish in style.

Tony Elumelu shared the touching moment on social media, expressing his gratitude to Osimhen for making his sons’ birthday wish come true.

“Throwback to last week when Victor Osimhen promised the T-Men to dedicate his next goal as their 10th birthday gift—and, as always, he delivered in style,” Elumelu wrote.

The heartwarming moment has been widely shared on social media, with many praising Osimhen’s kind gesture.
