Victor Osimhen Emerges Winner Of Goal Of The Week Award.
Victor Osimhen’s impressive goal during Galatasaray’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Kasımpaşa has earned him the sport Goal of the Week award for matchday seven.
The Nigerian striker scored in the 28th minute, showcasing his skill by avoiding an offside position and expertly controlling the ball with his hips before sending it over Kasımpaşa’s goalkeeper, Andreas Gianniotis.
Osimhen’s goal received overwhelming support, securing 77.96% of the 13,188 votes cast, placing him ahead of competitors Edin Visca, Andreaw Gravillon, and Taulant Seferi.
Although Osimhen faced challenges during the pre-season due to transfer issues, he has quickly become a vital player for Galatasaray. He has started every match he has been selected for and has either scored or assisted in all four of his appearances for the club, which has won the Turkish league 24 times.
Unfortunately, Osimhen will miss the upcoming UEFA Europa League match against Latvian team FK Rīgas Futbola Skola due to an injury. The extent of his injury remains uncertain, raising questions about his availability for Nigeria’s upcoming back-to-back matches against Libya in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Fans and teammates alike are hopeful for his swift recovery, as his presence is crucial for both club and country.
