Victor Osimhen delivered a match-winning performance for Galatasaray, scoring twice in their thrilling 2-1 victory over Caykur Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig on Monday night.
The Nigerian striker played a pivotal role in securing all three points for Okan Buruk’s side in what was a tough encounter against their resilient hosts. Speaking after the game, Osimhen emphasized that Galatasaray deserved the win after overcoming a difficult test.
“I think it was a very important and very difficult match. We won, and we think we won in a way we deserved,” Osimhen told the club’s official website.
He also extended his appreciation to the team and fans for their support.
“I want to congratulate the whole team. I also want to thank our fans. This victory and their support gave us a lot of morale. We are continuing our winning streak in this way.”
In a moment of celebration, Galatasaray captain Fernando Muslera was spotted wearing Osimhen’s signature mask after the striker netted the winner. Osimhen, touched by the gesture, praised the goalkeeper’s leadership and contribution.
“I had given my mask to celebrate with the fans at that time. I came back and saw that he had already put it on. He is a great person beyond being a captain. He had a very important role in this victory,” he added.
With this victory, Galatasaray continues their strong campaign, and Osimhen’s dazzling performance further cements his reputation as one of the league’s most lethal forwards.
