Nigerian Star’s Stunning Display Powers Galatasaray Past Ajax, Eclipsing Kane and Haaland
Victor Osimhen announced his arrival at the summit of European football with a devastating first-half hat-trick, single-handedly driving Galatasaray to a 3-0 victory over Ajax in Amsterdam on Wednesday. The Nigerian striker’s blistering performance rockets him to the top of the Champions League scoring charts with six goals this season.
In a stunning 19-minute masterclass, Osimhen demonstrated exactly why the Istanbul club made him their record signing. He broke the deadlock just before the hour mark, powerfully heading home a cross from Leroy Sané. The striker then displayed ice-cool composure from the penalty spot, converting two flawless spot-kicks in the 66th and 78th minutes to complete his treble and leave Ajax goalkeeper Remko Pasveer with no chance.
“We have a goal. We know what we want, and we know the magnitude of performance you need in the Champions League,” Osimhen told Galatasaray TV after the match. “We want to match up with the elite… We have the individual quality to do damage to every team.”
With this commanding display, Osimhen now sits alone at the top of the competition’s scoring list, moving one goal clear of global superstars Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, and Erling Haaland. His €75 million summer transfer from Napoli is already paying dividends, with his goals propelling Galatasaray to nine points and a strong position halfway through the league phase.
