In a touching moment of sportsmanship, Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen dedicated his opening goal for Galatasaray to teammate Mauro Icardi, who recently suffered a season-ending injury. During Galatasaray’s match against Samsunspor, Osimhen scored a crucial header in the third minute and celebrated by lifting a shirt bearing Icardi’s name, showing his support for the sidelined Argentine striker.

Icardi’s injury occurred during Galatasaray’s UEFA Europa League encounter with Tottenham, forcing him out for the remainder of the season. After hearing the news, Osimhen took to social media to encourage Icardi, expressing hope that his teammate would “come back stronger.”

The heartwarming gesture was met with applause from fans and players alike, as Icardi watched from the stands at Rams Park. Osimhen’s goal marked his seventh for Galatasaray in nine appearances, with the Nigerian forward showing his determination to fill the void left by Icardi’s absence as the team prepares for a crucial Super Lig clash.
