Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen was the man of the hour on Tuesday night, putting on a masterclass to help Galatasaray dismantle Juventus 5-2 in their UEFA Champions League playoff first leg.
The atmosphere in Istanbul was electric as Gabriel Sara opened the scoring for the hosts in just the 15th minute.
However, the Italian giants didn't stay down for long. Teun Koopmeiners struck twice to turn the game on its head, leaving the home fans stunned.
Galatasaray came out firing after the break. Just four minutes into the second half, Noah Lang found the back of the net to level the scores.
The momentum shifted completely when defender Davinson Sanchez rose to the occasion, restoring the lead for the Turkish side at the hour mark.
The night went from bad to worse for Juventus in the 67th minute. Juan Cabal received a red card after a second yellow card, leaving Juventus weak with 10 men.
With a man advantage, Osimhen took total control. The Nigerian striker turned provider, showing incredible vision to set up Noah Lang and Sacha Boey for the final two goals that sealed the emphatic victory.
This massive win gives Galatasaray a significant advantage heading into the second leg. Both teams will meet again in Turin next Wednesday to decide who moves forward in the competition.
