The Super Eagles forward, speaking after the match, shared his thoughts about the all-round performance from the team to record the victory.
He showed team spirit by failing to talk about his personal achievement, but instead spoke about the team generally and singled out some of his teammates for praise.
“First of all, I think we need to congratulate the team and then our fans. We definitely did a great job from the first whistle to the last whistle. Everyone tried to play their best,” he told the media after the match, as quoted by Galatasaray.org.
He namedropped his partners in attack, Baris Alper Yilmaz, Yunus Akgun and Alvaro Morata, for praise for their contributions during the match.
“Barış played an incredible match. He made us feel very valuable in the last matches. Yunus is back, and he is also a very important player for us. We will try to reflect this result in the next matches.
“Our team is a team built on love, and we are all brothers, not only on the field but also off the field.
“Morata is also a very important and great player. We show mutual respect to each other. I think he can give me the ball in the same situation. He is a name that has proven himself with what he has done in football. In fact, all of my teammates are very valuable to me.”
“We actually owe being a team at the highest level to this. We will try to continue in this way. We want to continue by building on this momentum,” he concluded.
