What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The Nigeria striker broke the deadlock in the 20th minute, meeting a pinpoint cross from Abdulkerim Bardakci with a powerful header that beat Andreas Gianniotis flat. Osimhen’s relief was evident as he celebrated by donning a Galatasaray jersey inscribed with ‘finally’, signalling the end of his wait for a dock breaker.

Just eight minutes later, Osimhen completed his brace with a thunderous volley from Gabriel Sara’s brilliant pass, showcasing the clinical finishing that made him one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.

The brace saw Osimhen etch his name in Galatasaray’s history books as the first player to register four or more goal contributions in the first three Süper Lig games since Bafetimbi Gomis in 2017, according to statistics from OPTA.

Mauro Icardi made it 3-0 for Galatasaray in the 34th minute, after outmuscling his marker to produce a brilliant volley that left the Kasımpaşa goalkeeper helpless.

In a show of camaraderie, Osimhen imitated Icardi’s goal celebration, highlighting the burgeoning partnership between the two strikers.
