Victor Boniface: Bayer Leverkusen boss tells Super Eagles star to prove himself when he’s fit
Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has claimed that Victor Boniface would need to demonstrate his abilities once more to regain Patrik Schick's starting shirt.
This match marked Osimhen's first start since recovering from injury, and he wasted no time making an impact, converting a penalty just three minutes into the game to give his team an early lead.
Despite an equaliser from Kayserispor's Stephane Bahoken shortly after, Galatasaray regained control with goals from Barıs Alper Yılmaz and Yunus Akgun before Osimhen added his second in the 71st minute, with his exceptional finishing ability on display.

Osimhen's performance not only helped Galatasaray to extend their unbeaten run in the league and across competitions but also solidified their position at the top of the league table with 44 points from 16 games.
