Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored for Galatasaray in their dominant 4-1 bashing of Antalyaspor on Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen was returning to action for Galatasaray for his last club match before joining the Super Eagles squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Nigerian superstar had failed to score for his side in their 1-0 loss to Monaco in the UEFA Champions League midweek, so he was determined to help his team return to victory.
Galatasaray started quickly, as Leroy Sané scored the opener inside the first seven minutes. Just four minutes later, they added a second goal, courtesy of Roland Sallai. They carried that two-goal lead into the break.
In the second half, the Cimbom continued to dominate, adding one more to their tally. This time, it was Osimhen who delivered.
The Super Eagles striker latched onto a beautiful pass from Yunus Akgün. With ample space to exploit, he ran into Antalyaspor's area and placed a precise finish into the bottom-left corner to make it 3-0.

Victor Osimhen Set For AFCON 2025 With Nigeria
Following his fine performance for Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen will now be looking to link up with his Super Eagles teammates ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
His goal against Antalyaspor will definitely put him in high spirits going into the AFCON.
The countries in Nigeria's group － Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda － will be keeping tabs on Osimhen and be hoping that they can keep him at bay.
Osimhen has never won a major with Nigeria. So he will be hungry to claim the AFCON in Morocco next month.
