Top striker Victor Osimhen Wednesday night scored a hat-trick of goals to keep his Turkish club Galatasaray in the hunt for the UEFA Champions League. They beat Ajax Amsterdam 3-0 at the Johan Cryuff Arena to continue their winning streak.
Osimhen with the outing has now increased his goal tally to six from three games. Osimhen has also become the highest scoring Nigerian in the Champions league with his overall tally to 25 goals across all matches for different clubs.
In a match of evenly shared possessions, Osimhen broke the deadlock in the 59th minute with a well taken header from a cross by Leroy Sane. He was back in the 66th minute for his second strike from the spot after Youri Baas handled the ball in his own box. Osimhen made no mistake.
Again, he was called up for another penalty duty this time conceded by Anton Gaaei, in the 78th minute. Osimhen blasted the into the top-right corner of the net to finish off the Dutch side.
