This victory not only ensured a return to winning ways for Galatasaray but also highlighted Osimhen’s critical role in their campaign, as five of his last six goals have come from penalties.

Boniface, who has been following Osimhen’s impressive form closely, took to social media to celebrate his compatriot’s success.
After Osimhen posted a jubilant picture of himself celebrating the penalty goal on Instagram, Boniface joined in the festivities with a playful comment:
“Them never see anything.” His words echoed the sentiment that Osimhen’s current performance is just a glimpse of what he can achieve.
With Galatasaray remaining unbeaten in the league this season, Boniface’s admiration for Osimhen is clear.
He recognises that this is just the beginning for his fellow striker as they both aim to make their mark in European football.
Boniface, who continues to wait for his return to action after the latest delay, and Osimhen are known to inspire and push each other on and off the pitch.
