Victor Osimhen’s sensational scoring form continued on Wednesday night as the Nigerian striker struck twice to help Galatasaray secure a 3–1 victory over Bodø/Glimt in the UEFA Champions League group stage in Istanbul.
The Super Eagles forward opened the scoring in the 3rd minute before adding a second in the 33rd, showcasing his trademark power, composure, and clinical finishing.

His movement off the ball and sharp link-up play caused constant problems for the Norwegian side’s defence.
Osimhen has now scored in seven consecutive continental fixtures, stretching back to Galatasaray’s Europa League campaign last season, taking his tally to eight goals in that period. The brace also lifts his overall Champions League total to 11 goals, underlining his reputation as one of Europe’s most consistent and dangerous strikers.
He was substituted in the 73rd minute for Mauro Icardi after another commanding display leading the line for Okan Buruk’s side.
Galatasaray’s dominance was evident throughout, with their pressing and quick transitions leaving Bodø/Glimt with few answers. The visitors managed a late consolation, but the Turkish champions maintained control until the final whistle.
Osimhen’s continued form comes as a major boost for Galatasaray as they look to advance from their group and make a strong run in Europe this season. His relentless performances and growing confidence in front of goal have made him the focal point of the club’s attack and one of the standout African players currently competing in Europe.
The final score — Galatasaray 3, Bodø/Glimt 1 — keeps the Turkish giants firmly in contention and reaffirms Osimhen’s status as one of the most prolific forwards in modern European football.
