Victor Osimhen announced his return from injury with a commanding display on Monday as Galatasaray battled to a 1–1 draw against arch-rivals Fenerbahçe in a pulsating Istanbul derby.
The Super Eagles striker, who had been sidelined for weeks, played 89 high-intensity minutes and immediately reminded fans why he remains one of Europe’s most feared forwards.
His sharp movement, aggressive pressing, and physical dominance unsettled the Fenerbahçe defence from start to finish.
Despite not finding the back of the net, Osimhen’s presence transformed Galatasaray’s attack, providing constant pressure and creating openings that kept the hosts on edge throughout the encounter.
