Osimhen is better than me — Current Super Lig top scorer bows to Nigerian star
Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has received huge praise from one of the Turkish Super Lig's best players
The Rams Park was the venue for what was tagged the ‘Super Eagles Showdown’ as Osimhen’s league leaders and defending champions Galatasaray hosted main challengers this season Trabzonspor and their star man, Onuachu.
However, despite the pre-game hype, both Nigerians failed to deliver goals as the game ended in a disappointing goalless affair. Osimhen remains four goals behind Onuachu, with both players catching up after the game.

Defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi featured for 86 minutes but could not help his Besiktas secure a point at home to giants Fenerbahce, who took advantage of the slip up in Istanbul to close the gap between them and the top two in the five-goal thriller.
In the Italian Serie A, it was another battle of brothers between Maduka Okoye and Africa’s finest Ademola Lookman. However, this time the home team, Udinese, won, with Okoye keeping a clean sheet against Atalanta, who unexpectedly started the game without Lookman.
