Osimhen’s brace not only helped Galatasaray to silverware but also saw him surpass Mario Jardel’s record of 34 goals in a single season, set during the 2000/01 campaign.
Thankfully, the surgery was completed successfully, and the Nottingham Forest forward is now awake and recovering in hospital, surrounded by his family.
Osimhen added his second of the match later in the half, finishing a well executed counterattack. Akgün, who played a key role throughout, provided the assist for all three goals.
