Osimhen Orchestrates Galatasaray Rout of Juventus with Two Assists

By Niyi Busari 

Nigeria international Victor Osimhen delivered another influential performance, registering two assists to help Galatasaray S.K. secure an emphatic 5–2 victory over Juventus F.C. BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Although Osimhen did not find the net, the Super Eagles forward proved instrumental in attack, playing decisive roles in Galatasaray’s fourth and fifth goals. His movement, physical presence, and creativity consistently unsettled his former Serie A rivals in a commanding display from the Turkish champions.

The brace of assists marked the second time in less than a week that Osimhen has achieved the feat — a notable milestone for the striker, who had never previously recorded two assists in a single match during his professional career.

Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara led the scoring with a double, while Noa Lang, Davinson Sánchez, and Sacha Boey each added a goal to complete Galatasaray’s five-star performance. Juventus responded through a brace from Teun Koopmeiners, but the Italian side struggled to contain the hosts’ attacking intensity.

Juventus’ difficulties were compounded in the 67th minute when Juan Cabal was shown a second yellow card, reducing the visitors to ten men and effectively ending hopes of a comeback.

The result underlined Galatasaray’s attacking strength and highlighted Osimhen’s growing influence beyond goalscoring, as he continues to expand his all-round contribution in Istanbul.
