Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, has made a resounding statement by setting a personal goal record against Samsunspor in the Turkish Super Lig.

He has netted a remarkable five goals against this club in their last three encounters. In a thrilling Matchday 15 showdown, Galatasaray triumphed over Samsunspor 3–2, a match clinched by Osimhen’s breathtaking bicycle kick at RAMS Park. Okan Buruk’s squad dominated the first half, with goals from Sané in the 8th minute and Osimhen in the 29th. According to the match analytics platform Opta,

Osimhen has established himself as the first striker in Turkish football to score the highest number of goals against Samsunspor. In his inaugural Galatasaray match against the club in 2024, he secured a brace, leading the Istanbul club to a 3-2 victory, and added another goal in the reverse fixture, which ended 2-0.

With these contributions, Osimhen’s tally for the season now stands at an impressive 11 goals in 14 games, further solidifying his exceptional form.

This win keeps Galatasaray firmly in the title race, and Osimhen’s impact for the Istanbul giants continues to be undeniable.
