Despite not getting on the score sheet, the Nigerian laid the assist that gave his side the two-goal cushion as the Lions ran out with the victory, courtesy of goals from Gabriel Sara, Dries Mertens, and an own goal from Dominik Livakovic.
Osimhen, who was quite impressive, thanked Galatasaray fans for their relentless support in a post on social media after the game.
“Yesterday’s (Saturday) win wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of Galatasaray fans around the world. Your cheers gave us the strength to fight,” Osimhen said, per Fanatik.
“You are not just fans in the stands; you are a big part of this team. Thank you for believing in us. We walk together.”
The game between the two title contenders is considered one of the biggest derbies in the world, with a combined 43 Super Lig titles won by the neighbours.
