Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen is back in scoring ways after he fired a brace to lead his Turkish side, Galatasaray, to a comfortable 5-1 win at Kayserispor yesterday.
Osimhen, who had a cameo appearance in Galatasaray’s 4-3 win over Trabzonspor last time because he was just returning, sealed a starting place against Kayserispor.
He didn’t disappoint as he scored two goals to take his tally to four goals in three games for Galatasaray, who are now second in the Turkey Super Lig table.
Meanwhile, another Nigerian player, Ademola Lookman, was also in action for his club, Atalanta, in the Italian Serie A.
The Nigerian winger scored the second goal for Atalanta in the 25th minute of the game, which ended 2-0 in favour of his side.
Osimhen’s goals and Lookman’s stunner have once again brought attention to the Nigerian players plying their trade in Europe, with many now looking up to them as role models.
The duo’s performance has also raised hopes of a better outing for the Super Eagles in their next international engagement.
Galatasaray’s win over Kayserispor was their fourth in five games, with Osimhen’s brace providing the highlight of the match.
The Turkish side took the lead in the 10th minute through a penalty kick, before Osimhen scored his first goal in the 34th minute to make it 2-0.
Kayserispor pulled one back in the 40th minute, but Galatasaray scored three more goals in the second half to seal the win, with Osimhen scoring his second goal in the 62nd minute.
Osimhen’s goals have now taken his tally to four in three games for Galatasaray, who are now second in the Turkey Super Lig table.
The Nigerian striker has been in impressive form since joining Galatasaray from Napoli, scoring crucial goals for his side.
His performance has also earned him a call-up to the Nigerian national team, where he has been impressive, scoring important goals for the side.
Lookman’s award as the best African player in Italy is a testament to his hard work and dedication to his craft.
