Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored a brace for Galatasaray in their hard-fought 2-1 win over Rizespor at the Caykur Didi Stadyumu, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen missed Galatasaray’s 4-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League playoffs last weekend, but he returned to the lineup when they squared off against Rizespor.
The Super Eagles star had a silent first half, as Rizespor dominated the play and created more chances in the final third. However, Osimhen got into the game in the second half.
It took Osimhen just two minutes into the second half to register his name on the scoresheet. The former Napoli man jumped highest to head in a cross from Przemyslaw Frankowski to make it 1-0 after 47 minutes.
