CurrentReport Blog Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has lauded Victor Osimhen following the forward’s spectacular goal in the club’s commanding 3-0 victory over Antalyaspor. Osimhen capped off the win with a stunning overhead kick in stoppage time, marking his third goal of the season for the reigning Turkish Super Lig champions.
The 25-year-old striker’s performance was nearly even more remarkable, as he had another goal disallowed for offside earlier in the match. Reflecting on the game, Buruk expressed his admiration for Osimhen’s efforts.
“Osimhen is the same way. We used him for a short time. He has one goal that didn’t count and one that counted. I would have been very upset if it didn’t count,” Buruk stated on the club’s official website.
Buruk further highlighted the significance of Osimhen’s goal, emphasizing its potential to draw attention across Europe and showcase the talent present in the Turkish league.
“It’s a very nice goal. It’s a goal that will make a splash in Europe and show our league. We need to show the quality of the Turkish league. In this sense, it’s an important goal,” Buruk added.
Osimhen’s latest heroics continue to cement his reputation as one of the top performers in European football, with fans eagerly anticipating more from the Nigerian star as Galatasaray pushes forward in their campaign.
