Former\u00a0Besiktas\u00a0winger Nihat Kahveci has explained what makes Victor Osimhen stand out from\u00a0others following the Super Eagles striker\u2019s performance in Galatasaray\u2019s\u00a0win over Fenerbah\u00e7e,\u00a0Soccernet.ng<\/u><\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n Osimhen marked his return to\u00a0league action in\u00a0style\u00a0with\u00a0a superb display\u00a0in the Istanbul derby on Sunday, as\u00a0Cimbom cruised to a 3\u20130 victory\u00a0in front of their home supporters.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old had missed several matches due to an arm injury and only returned last week in the\u00a0shock Turkish Cup defeat to Genclerbirligi<\/u><\/a>, where he wore an arm protector to\u00a0protect himself. <\/p>\n However, he showed\u00a0great\u00a0determination\u00a0and his presence clearly lifted his teammates,\u00a0as they\u00a0put in their best to\u00a0secure the result, which has now moved them closer to another league triumph.<\/p>\n Osimhen\u00a0was also on the scoresheet, opening the scoring\u00a0in the first half\u00a0with an improvised finish\u00a0and it came as very little surprise that\u00a0Fenerbah\u00e7e had earlier raised concerns about his arm protector<\/u><\/a>, knowing the kind of threat he could pose.<\/p>\n That strike in the 40th minute\u00a0took his tally to 20 for the season and marked his 10th\u00a0goal\u00a0in his last 10 league appearances for Galatasaray, who have now stretched their lead to seven points\u00a0over\u00a0Fenerbah\u00e7e\u00a0with just three games remaining this season.<\/p>\n Baris\u00a0Alper Y\u0131lmaz and Lucas Torreira added two more goals in the second half to seal the 3\u20130 win, while Fenerbah\u00e7e were reduced to 10 men after goalkeeper Ederson was sent off following a second yellow card.<\/p>\n Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen was making his first start since March, but he played like someone who had never been\u00a0away\u00a0and was rewarded with his 13th league goal of the campaign.<\/p>\n Reflecting on his performance, Kahveci praised the Nigerian striker\u00a0and identified his hunger as a major quality\u00a0that separates\u00a0him from other players on the pitch.<\/p>\n \u201cOsimhen plays every match like it’s his last. This is a very important character trait. He doesn’t say, \u2018I’ve scored 40 goals, man’; it’s as if he hasn’t scored any, striving like he’s about to score his first!\u201d,\u00a0Kahveci said in quotes revealed by Avrupa Fatihi on X.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n Following\u00a0that commanding\u00a0win over one of their closest challengers, Galatasaray could seal\u00a0a fourth consecutive Turkish Super Lig\u00a0title if they secure maximum points\u00a0when they\u00a0face Samsunspor on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/pNBviU2EKmqL99HAAGuI53KnE50=\/4752x3168\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F04%2Fimago1060547094.jpg\")
