His teammate Mario Lemina scored the only goal of the game in the first half, giving the Turkish Super Lig winners a first-leg lead heading into the return leg next week.
However, according to OptaJoe, Osimhen has been involved in eight goals in the Champions League this season (7 goals and 1 assist), the most ever by a Nigerian player in a single Champions League campaign.
The former Napoli attacker is ahead of Atletico Madrid’s Ademola Lookman (6), Tijani Babangida (6), Yakubu Ayegbeni (6), and John Utaka (6).
