Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen stole the spotlight on Wednesday night, delivering a masterclass that sent José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce crashing out of the Turkish Cup in a stunning 2-1 defeat to Galatasaray.
Osimhen wasted no time asserting dominance, breaking the deadlock in the 10th minute with a clinical finish from the edge of the box. As Mourinho’s defense struggled to contain him, the striker struck again in the 27th minute, converting a penalty to hand Galatasaray a commanding 2-0 lead before halftime.
Fenerbahce’s hopes flickered briefly when Sebastian Szymański pulled one back in first-half stoppage time (45+1’), but despite Mourinho’s late tactical changes—including desperate substitutions in the dying minutes—the former Chelsea and Real Madrid manager could not inspire a comeback.
Mourinho, known for his tactical prowess and mind games, now faces harsh criticism, with fans questioning his ability to deliver in crucial matches. Meanwhile, Osimhen’s heroics have sparked speculation over his next move, as reports suggest top European clubs are monitoring the striker’s sensational form.
As Galatasaray celebrates and Fenerbahce licks its wounds, one thing is clear—Osimhen has once again proven himself as a nightmare for defenders and a thorn in Mourinho’s side.
