Expecting a return pass, Osimhen called out for Akgun to lay it back to him. Instead, Akgun opted for a solo run, skillfully manoeuvring through several defenders before unleashing a powerful strike that found the roof of the net, bringing the score to 4-2.
While the goal was spectacular, Osimhen's disappointment was palpable as he reacted angrily to being ignored by his teammate. Footage of the incident quickly circulated on social media, highlighting Osimhen's visible frustration.
Just three minutes after this incident, Osimhen closing in on a Cristiano Ronaldo record was substituted off as Elfsborg clawed back with a third goal, making for a tense finish to the match.
