Victor Osimhen experienced his first taste of the Intercontinental derby during Galatasaray’s Turkish Super Lig clash against Fenerbahce.
The Nigerian forward, who recently joined the Istanbul club on loan, led the attack for Okan Buruk’s side as they secured a crucial win over their arch-rivals.
While Osimhen didn’t get on the scoresheet, he provided a superb assist for Dries Mertens, helping Galatasaray double their lead.
The striker came close to scoring on a few occasions but was denied by the outstanding Dominik Livakovic.
Following the victory, Osimhen and his teammates were rewarded with a significant bonus.
According to reports from Turkish sports outlet Fanatik, each Galatasaray player, including Victor Osimhen, has been awarded a bonus of 1.5 million Turkish Lira, approximately 72 million Nigerian Naira, following their victory over Fenerbahce.
The report explained that Galatasaray President Dursun Özbek had not promised any bonuses before the Intercontinental Derby but decided to reward the players after their impressive performance.
