Victor Osimhen made an impressive debut for Galatasaray in their 5-0 victory over Rizespor on Saturday, setting a Super Lig record for the most shots in a match this season with seven attempts. After a disappointing transfer window, which saw failed moves to Chelsea and Al Ahly, the 25-year-old Nigerian striker made his mark by providing an assist and constantly threatening the opposition’s defense.
Osimhen, who was immediately included in the starting lineup by coach Okan Buruk, showcased his physicality and sharp movement. His performance was capped off by an assist when his flicked header led to Abdülkerim Bardakcı scoring the team’s second goal.
Despite missing a key chance to score himself, Osimhen’s overall play was impactful. He completed eight of nine passes, including two that created shooting opportunities, and won seven duels across the pitch. His debut performance demonstrated his potential as a key player for Galatasaray this season, and fans are eagerly anticipating his first goal.
Galatasaray’s comprehensive win at RAMS Park keeps them on track in their title defense, and Osimhen’s contributions are expected to grow as the season progresses.
