Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, currently on loan from Napoli to Galatasaray, delivered a breathtaking performance on Saturday evening, scoring a sensational goal in Galatasaray’s match against Antalyaspor. His acrobatic strike marked a memorable moment in a game that saw the Turkish side emerge victorious.
Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray follows a turbulent summer with Napoli.
Despite a strained relationship with the Italian club, he was unable to secure a transfer during the summer window.
Eventually, he found a temporary home in Turkey, where he now aims to revive his career and attract attention from major European clubs.
His latest performance suggests that his time in Türkiye is proving to be a successful chapter.
The highlight of Saturday night’s game came when Osimhen showcased his extraordinary athleticism and finishing ability.
After Mauro Icardi had already put Galatasaray in control with two goals, Osimhen added a touch of brilliance to seal the victory.
In the closing stages of the match, he executed an audacious overhead kick, sending the ball soaring into the net beneath the crossbar.
The goalkeeper stood helpless as the powerful strike sailed past him.
The Nigerian’s goal was the perfect finale to a dominant display by Galatasaray, and it was immediately hailed as one of the best goals of the season.
Fans and pundits alike were left in awe of Osimhen’s technique and timing, as well as the composure he demonstrated under pressure.
Osimhen’s form has been on the rise since his arrival in Turkey, with the forward clearly enjoying his football after a difficult spell in Italy.
His time at Napoli was marred by tension and frustration, but his recent performances suggest that the move to Galatasaray is helping him regain his confidence and sharpness.
As Osimhen continues to impress in the Turkish league, speculation is growing about a potential return to one of Europe’s top leagues.
For now, though, the striker remains focused on helping Galatasaray achieve success, and if he keeps scoring goals like the one against Antalyaspor, his dream of joining a major European club could soon become a reality.
“I’m just happy to be playing football again, to enjoy every minute on the pitch,” Osimhen said after the match.
His joy was clear to see, and with performances like this, his time in Türkiye is already making waves across the football world.
