EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Nigerian striker scored twice in the first half to help his team to a 3–1 victory, becoming the first Galatasaray player ever to score in seven consecutive European matches.

The previous record was held by Turkish striker Burak Yilmaz, who netted in six straight continental fixtures back in 2012. Osimhen’s goals in the 3rd and 33rd minutes not only sealed an important win for the Turkish champions but also cemented his place in the club’s history books.

The 26-year-old’s scoring streak dates back to last season’s Europa League campaign, where he found the net against Tottenham Hotspur, Dynamo Kyiv, Ajax, and AZ Alkmaar. This season, he has carried that remarkable form into the Champions League, scoring against Liverpool before his brace against Bodø/Glimt.

Since joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has quickly become the driving force of Okan Buruk’s squad. His combination of speed, strength, and clinical finishing has earned him admiration from fans and pundits alike, while his latest milestone reinforces his reputation as one of Europe’s deadliest strikers.

At the time of filing this report, Galatasaray were leading Bodø/Glimt 3–1 with less than eight minutes remaining, putting them in a strong position in their Champions League group.

Osimhen’s latest record not only highlights his personal brilliance but also underlines Galatasaray’s growing ambition to make a deep run in Europe this season.
