I was surprised — Osimhen reacts to hearing daughter's voice over the stadium microphone
While he wore a blank expression—his game face on—when his daughter Hailey announced his name through the stadium speakers at Rams Park after he scored the Super Lig-clinching goal against Kayserispor, Victor Osimhen revealed that it was a moment of pure joy for him.
What happened
As Pulse Sports reported, it was a night to remember for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen and his family when the Super Eagles star fired Galatasaray ahead against Kayserispor, scoring the crucial opening goal in a victory that clinched the Turkish Super Lig title.
In its own worth, the goal was special but it became even more unforgettable when the stadium’s goal announcement echoed through the stands, not from the usual announcer, but from Osimhen’s young daughter, Hailey.
As the crowd erupted in celebration, Hailey took the microphone and delivered the goal announcement chant, enthusiastically calling out her father’s first name, ‘Victor,’ to tens of thousands of fans, who responded, ‘Osimhen’ in unison.
Osimhen’s reaction
Amid the post-match celebrations, Osimhen was asked by journalists about the heartwarming moment, and he expressed genuine surprised, stating that he did not know the club had that planned.
"I was very surprised, and I was very happy when I heard my daughter's voice. Thank you,” he said, according to Sabah newspaper, per NTVspor.
His partner, Hailey's mother, Stephanie Ladewig was also present at the celebrations, as she was during his title celebrations at Napoli, underscoring the strength of their union.
