UCL: Osimhen brace powers Galatasaray to 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt
Victor Osimhen continued his brilliant run of form with a stunning brace as Galatasaray sealed a 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt in their UEFA Champions League encounter at the RAMS Park on Wednesday night.
The Nigerian striker, who was earlier named among the nominees for the 2025 CAF Men’s Player of the Year award, delivered a commanding performance that underlined his growing influence under manager Okan Buruk.
Osimhen opened the scoring as early as the third minute, firing home from the edge of the box after a neat setup from Mario Lemina.

He doubled Galatasaray’s advantage just after the half-hour mark, pouncing on a defensive error to slot past the Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper, to become only the second player in Galatasaray’s history to score in seven consecutive European matches.
Yunus Akgun added the third goal for the Turkish champions on the hour mark to seal a convincing win, while Andreas Helmersen grabbed a consolation for the Norwegian side.
Osimhen’s brace takes his tally to nine goals in his last seven European appearances and 11 goals overall in the Champions League, further solidifying his status as one of Europe’s most lethal forwards.
The victory also extends Galatasaray’s impressive form, with 21 wins in their last 23 matches across all competitions, a strong response to their opening defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 1.
