When Turkish Super Lig heavyweights Galatasaray hosted reigning Premier League champions Liverpool at Rams Park on the second day of the UCL, the 26-year-old was included in manager Okan Buruk’s starting lineup.

Osimhen scored a penalty in the 16th minute, marking his first full start for the Red and Gold since recovering from an ankle injury sustained during Nigeria’s World Cup qualifying doubleheader matches against South Africa and Rwanda during the most recent international break.

After Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai fouled in the area, the center referee gave Galatasaray a penalty. Osimhen defeated Alisson Becker from 12 yards out to start the season’s top club competition in Europe.

Osimhen now has ten goals in the actual Champions League after the goal.

Ademola Lookman, Nwankwo Kanu, Victor Ikpeba, and Yakubu Aiyegbeni all have five goals, while Obafemi Martins has nine goals.
