Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has expressed his disappointment after Galatasaray squandered a three-goal lead in their 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa.
After signing with Galatasaray on loan from Napoli, Osimhen was expected to deliver the best result, as he demonstrated during his stay with Serie A.
Victor Osimhen Breaks Goal Drought
Despite failing to score in his first three appearances, though contributing four assists, the 25-year-old Nigerian striker finally found the back of the net.
In Saturday’s match, Osimhen opened the scoring in the 20th minute and added another goal just eight minutes later, bringing excitement to Galatasaray fans.
Injury Setback and Late Collapse
However, this was abruptly halted after Osimhen was replaced midway through the half due to an injury as revealed by Sportsbuddy.
His absence was clearly noticeable at the end of the game for Galatasaray as the team fell apart in the second half, and abandoning a three-goal lead saw Kasimpasa come back to force a 3-3 tie.
Osimhen’s Message to Fans
Speaking after the match, Victor Osimhen took to his Instagram to have mixed feelings as he posted photos from the match.
“It was a great honour to score two goals in today’s match, but I was disappointed that we couldn’t secure the victory. We gave it our all, and I’m sure we will come back stronger as a team,” he wrote.
He also expressed his words of appreciation to the fans, adding that, Dear Galatasaray fans, Your support is always invaluable to us, and we will never cease to strive in order to make all of you feel proud.
Thanks for your cheers and most of all the incredible love you have shown me. We are just getting started!”
Osimhen is now hoping his injury is not severe as Galatasaray prepares for their upcoming Europa League clash against RFS.
