He capped off his sensational performance in the second half with an audacious chip, courtesy of a perfectly timed pass from Yunus Akgün.
Osimhen, who was deservedly named Player of the Match, played a pivotal role in Galatasaray's emphatic 5-1 victory, which also marked a significant milestone for head coach Okan Buruk.
According to Opta Can, the Istanbul club's coach became the fastest manager to secure 75 league victories in his first 90 matches in the Süper Lig.
Buruk's record surpasses that of Christoph Daum, who reached the same milestone in his 103rd match while managing Fenerbahçe. Buruk's record now stands at 75 wins, nine draws, and just six defeats.
Following the game, Osimhen expressed his pride in contributing to his manager's historic achievement, as well as his overall feeling with regards being part of Galatasaray.

Osimhen highlighted the significant role his teammates have played in elevating his performance and emphasized the collective goals of the squad.
“It is important to be part of a big family like this,” he stated. “I adapted very easily with Barış, Yunus, Gabi, and Dries. I quickly learned their game, and it made me happy to be of help. We are undefeated in Europe. We must go step by step as we continue our journey in the Süper Lig.”
Reflecting on the team’s recent win, Osimhen added,
“We won because we believed. I’m very happy to help the team. Our overall performance was excellent. We also thank our fans very much—their voices echoed throughout the field.”
Galatasaray now heads into the winter break with a commanding eight-point lead over second-placed Fenerbahçe.
