Victor Osimhen set the stage early in Galatasaray’s intense 3-2 win over Samsunspor with a phenomenal header that had fans and analysts talking. Just three minutes in at RAMS Park, Galatasaray launched an attack orchestrated by Gabriel Sara, Dries Mertens, and Lucas Torreira. Mertens slipped the ball forward to Torreira, who skillfully chipped it into the penalty area, perfectly positioned for Osimhen. Rising above the defenders, Osimhen met the cross with a header that rocketed into the net at an astonishing speed of 71 kilometers per hour, a feat highlighted by beIN SPORTS via Kontra spor. The Napoli loanee became unstoppable in the air, ultimately notching his sixth goal of the Süper Lig season.

Throughout the match, Osimhen kept Samsunspor’s defense under pressure with nine shots, setting a season record for the most attempts by a player in a single Süper Lig match. He capped off his impressive performance with a second header, earning a brace and moving just two goals shy of the league’s top scorer, Besiktas’ Ciro Immobile.

Now back in the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda, Osimhen has once again proven his importance on both the club and international stage.
