Osimhen, Chukwueze, Sadiq, Bassey Lead Nigerian Stars’ Goalscoring Blitz Across Europe

Nigerian footballers delivered standout performances across Europe on Sunday, with Victor Osimhen, Sadiq Umar, Calvin Bassey, and Samuel Chukwueze all finding the net, while Bruno Onyemaechi and Ibrahim Olawoyin made crucial contributions for their clubs.

Osimhen’s brilliance not enough for Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen continued his red-hot form for Galatasaray, scoring twice in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Kasimpaşa.

The Nigerian striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 11th minute, extending the league leaders’ 24-match unbeaten streak.

However, Kasimpaşa fought back to take the lead through Mortadha Ben Ouannes and Josip Brekalo. Galatasaray equalised through Davinson Sanchez before Osimhen restored their advantage with a close-range finish.

But Kasimpaşa struck late to deny the champions-elect a win, leaving Galatasaray only four points ahead of Fenerbahçe at the top of the Turkish Super Lig with 65 points.
