The high-profile signing from Napoli, who joined Galatasaray in a season-long loan move during the summer transfer window, was eager to impress in front of the home fans. And he did just that, helping to orchestrate a comprehensive win for his new team.
Galatasaray took control of the match early on, with two first-half goals giving them a comfortable lead at the break. While Osimhen was denied the chance to score on his debut, his influence in the build-up to one of those goals did not go unnoticed.
The second half saw Galatasaray extend their advantage, with Gabriel Sara, Dries Mertens, and Baris Alper Yilmaz all finding the back of the net to complete the rout.
Osimhen's assist, combined with his overall performance, will have delighted the Galatasaray faithful, who will be hoping the Nigerian can maintain this level of impact as the season progresses.
The 25-year-old striker has already established himself as a key figure for the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles.
While he may have been denied a debut goal, Osimhen's assist and overall contribution to Galatasaray's comprehensive victory will undoubtedly serve as a promising start to his tenure at the club. Galatasaray fans will be keenly awaiting his next opportunity to shine.
