Osimhen Dedicates Galatasaray Derby Win to Birthday Boy Buruk

2 hours ago·1 min

Victor Osimhen scored twice to fire Galatasaray to a 2-1 victory over Fenerbahçe in a thrilling Intercontinental Derby at RAMS Park on Monday night — then dedicated the win to head coach Okan Buruk.

The Nigeria striker was the decisive figure throughout the contest, netting both goals to hand Galatasaray bragging rights over their fiercest rivals. The brace means Osimhen has now scored three times in his last two appearances for the Turkish champions, underlining a rich vein of form.

After the final whistle, Osimhen revealed that the win — like Galatasaray's recent victory over Lille — was a deliberate birthday gift for Buruk, who turned 53 not long ago.
