Emre Bol, a Turkish sports expert, gave a scathing appraisal of the striker’s performance, claiming that Osimhen struggled against Gabriel Paulista.
The striker scored against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, but his efforts did not appear sufficient as the Super Eagles are on the verge of missing out on qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
On his comeback, Galatasaray lost 2-1 against Besiktas on Saturday, allowing Fenerbahçe to tighten the gap in the title race.
Bol stated, “Paulista defended Victor Osimhen extremely effectively.
Osimhen had his worst performance since his arrival. Antalyaspor’s triumph also mislead Galatasaray supporters.”
In his first loss as a Galatasaray player, the Napoli loanee struggled against Besiktas. He missed the target with all four of his shots and had a passing accuracy of only 50 percent.
