(DDM) – Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen delivered an impressive creative display as Galatasaray secured a commanding 5–2 victory over Italian giants Juventus in a high-profile European clash.
Even without finding the net, Osimhen influenced the game significantly, providing two key assists that helped seal the dominant win for the Turkish side.
The Super Eagles forward remained lively throughout the encounter, troubling Juventus defenders with his movement, strength, and sharp decision-making in the final third.
Observers noted that his link-up play and awareness created openings that Galatasaray exploited efficiently, especially during the latter stages of the match.
Osimhen set up Galatasaray’s fourth and fifth goals with precise passes that cut through Juventus’ defensive structure.
His contributions ensured that the Turkish champions maintained control and extended their lead beyond reach.
For a player widely known for his goal-scoring ability, the performance highlighted another dimension of his game, creativity and teamwork.
Analysts described it as a mature display that showed growth in his overall attacking profile.
Interestingly, this marks the second time within a week that the Nigerian star has recorded two assists in a single match, a rare feat compared to his usual scoring-focused outings.
The performance also came against familiar opposition, as Osimhen previously made his mark in Italy’s Serie A, where he built a reputation as one of Europe’s most lethal forwards.
Fans of the Nigeria national football team will view this evolution positively, as it signals added versatility ahead of upcoming international fixtures.
With Galatasaray pushing strongly in continental competitions, Osimhen’s all-round attacking influence could prove crucial in their European ambitions this season.
