The Conqueror of Europe conquered Amsterdam! Osimhen's night...
Osimhen scored three goals to give Galatasaray a great victory against Ajax in Amsterdam
Turkish champions Galatasaray, with a wonderful goal by Nigerian Victor Osimhen who scored a hat-trick, defeated Ajax 3-0 away from home in the UEFA Champions League, thanks to which they climbed to 9th place in the Champions League.
Galatasaray, who visited Ajax at the Johan Cruijff Arena, was amazing. They had in their strength the incomparable, the amazing (once again) Victor Osimhen who made a party in the Dutch opponent's area. Galatasaray, entered the away game with the aim of addressing some shortcomings that they had in their team and ensuring a successful participation in the Champions League, so they made sure to strengthen their defensive line, as they did. Ajax players rarely got close to or threatened Cakir's goal…
The first half was relatively slow, but Victor Osimhen played effectively from the very first minutes. He created two goal chances, but failed to score in either of them.
In the second half, Galatasaray picked up their pace and Victor Osimhen opened the scoring in the 59th minute (after a pass from German Leroy Sane from the right wing). Just five minutes after the first goal of the match, Osimhen appealed for a handball in the penalty area. Play continued for a while, but the referee consulted VAR and awarded a penalty. The giant, Victor Osimhen, who shot into the left corner, found the net again, doubling the lead.
In the 78th minute, winger Baris Alper Yilmaz fell into the opponent's area. The referee awarded another penalty. Victor Osimhen, once again taking control of the ball, found the net again, making the score 3-0. In the 81st minute, Victor Osimhen's place was taken by Mauro Icardi.
Thus, Galatasaray, undefeated in the Super League with 9 wins, 2 draws and 29 points in 11 matches, is also performing well in the UEFA Champions League with 2 wins in 3 matches.
