Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen made a notable debut for Galatasaray, though a stunning goal was ruled out.
The 25-year-old Nigerian, who joined the Turkish giants from Napoli in a high-profile transfer, looked poised to make an immediate impact.
Just 25 minutes into his debut match against Rizespor on Saturday, Osimhen scored with a precise header, seemingly doubling Galatasaray’s lead after Davidson Sanchez’s opening goal in the 3rd minute.
