With two crucial goals against rivals Fenerbahce at the RAMS Park in a fiery Intercontinental Derby, Victor Osimhen has opened up a three-man battle for Super Lig Golden Boot race.
Osimhen’s two goals in the 29th and 44th minutes saw his tally raised to eight (8) goals same as Mohamed Salah of Trabzonspor and Nigerian Gift Orban, why plays for Amedspor.
Before the match, both Salah and Orban were joint first on 8 goals and three assists respectively with Osimhen on 6 goals and three assists to place third, even though he had played lesser games.
And now, the race for the Turkish Super Lig Golden Boot has completely exploded into a dramatic three-way battle, and it is a forgotten Nigerian, Orban, who is currently turning heads across Europe.

Orban has an astonishing eight goals and three assists in nine appearances, same statistics with Egypt and global icon, Salah at the very pinnacle of the league’s attacking charts.
But Osimhen has finally caught up with them. The Galatasaray powerhouse after Monday night’s game now has eight (8) goals and three assists.
