Osimhen started and played full throttle of the match, contributing significantly to his outfit 3-3 away stalemate against Kasimpasa.
“I would say disappointment. That’s the best way to put it. We fought against an effective opponent. “I’m proud of my teammates for their efforts. Football is like that sometimes,” he was quoted by Galatasaray’s official website.
Kasimpasa were handed an early scare after Osimhen converted from the spot to give Galatasaray the lead after just 11 minutes.
