Osimhen scores stunning bicycle kick in Galatasaray’s 3-0 win over Antalyaspor
Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen made a spectacular return to action for Galatasaray, scoring an extraordinary bicycle kick in their 3-0 victory against Antalyaspor.
Osimhen, who had been sidelined with an injury after scoring twice in a 3-3 draw with Kasimpasa, came off the bench to replace Mauro Icardi, who had already netted a brace to give Galatasaray control of the game.
The Nigerian striker wasted no time making an impact. Three minutes after entering the match, Osimhen thought he had opened his account, but his goal was ruled offside following a VAR check. However, the forward kept pressing and was eventually rewarded in stoppage time.
With the ball looping high in the box, Osimhen unleashed a stunning bicycle kick that flew past the goalkeeper, sealing Galatasaray’s comfortable win. The goal, initially subjected to another VAR review, was confirmed to the delight of his teammates and fans.
Osimhen’s sensational strike was hailed by commentators as one of the finest goals of the season, highlighting his athleticism, sharpness, and determination after returning from injury.
Mauro Icardi’s two early goals had already given Galatasaray control of the match, but Osimhen’s late contribution underlined the striker’s importance to the team.
Osimhen’s return is a major boost for Galatasaray as they continue their league campaign. His recent injury forced him to miss international duty with Nigeria, leaving him out of the squad for upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Libya. However, with this brilliant performance, the striker has shown he is ready to make an impact moving forward.
Galatasaray fans will hope to see more of Osimhen’s magic as the team pushes for silverware this season.
