Victor Osimhen inches away from breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's record

Oismhen recently got back from injury after missing Galatasaray’s last match and Nigeria’s clash against Libya.

The attacker was brought on in the final moments of Galatasaray's victory over Antalyaspor at the Antalya Stadium.

Osimhen then scored an incredible overhead kick to seal the 3-0 win, which has got people talking.

According to NTV, Osimhen's Super Lig overhead kick goal against Antalyaspor is remembered as one of just two in the history of football to surpass the 2.30-meter height restriction.

Real Madrid great Ronaldo holds the record after he scored with an overhead kick from 2.38 meters in the Champions League quarterfinal between Real Madrid and Juventus in April 2018.

Ronaldo's overhead kick was 0.06 meters higher than Osimhen's, which was 2.32 meters high.

During the game, Hakim Ziyech floated a free-kick into the area, and Osimhen overpowered his man before delivering a strong overhead kick to put the ball into the net.

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles striker has also tipped his overhead kick goal to win the FIFA Puskas award.
