Buruk praises Osimhen's goal-assist in Galatasaray's 3-2 win over Göztepe
Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk praised Victor Osimhen after the striker scored a goal and provided an assist in the club's 3-2 victory over Göztepe on Saturday night, August 29, 2026 at RAMS Park in Istanbul. Osimhen now has five goals and two assists in three matches this season, having scored braces in each of Galatasaray's opening two fixtures. Buruk told the club's official website that the team's shot count has never been higher, noting that Osimhen is receiving the ball more often, arriving in more penalty-area positions, and benefiting from increased chance creation by the side.
For Nigerian fans, Osimhen's sustained form abroad reinforces Nigeria's pride and could influence his market value and national-team selection ahead of upcoming qualifiers. The performance also signals Galatasaray's attacking potency as they defend their Turkish Super Lig title.
Buruk emphasized that the striker's involvement is a key part of the team's improved offensive output. With Osimhen firing on all cylinders, will his form propel Galatasaray to a league title, and how should Super Eagles fans leverage his momentum for the national team?
