Nigeria and Galatasaray’s striker Victor Osimhen made a remarkable impact on Wednesday, May 14, by scoring twice and breaking the Turkish football record for the most goals by a foreign player in a single season.
Victor Osimhen’s efforts were instrumental in helping Istanbul giants Galatasaray secure the Turkish Cup with a decisive 3-0 victory over Trabzonspor.
Entering the final at Gaziantep Stadium, Osimhen was just one goal away from equaling Mario Jardel’s long-standing record of 34 goals during the 2000-2001 season.
However, he not only matched this record but surpassed it, bringing his season tally to an impressive 35 goals in 38 appearances during his debut season in Turkey.
