Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has won the 2024-25 Turkish Süper Lig Goal of the Season for his spectacular bicycle kick against Antalyaspor.

The acrobatic finish, which came deep into stoppage time, was a moment of magic after Mauro Icardi had given Galatasaray a two-goal lead. With the home side failing to clear a late set piece, Osimhen seized the opportunity—allowing the ball to bounce before launching into a stunning overhead kick that found the back of the net.

The strike marked Osimhen’s third league goal for Galatasaray, having opened his account with a brace against Kasımpaşa. The Nigerian striker quickly adapted to life in the Turkish top flight, making an instant impact with goals and match-winning performances.

He went on to enjoy a record-breaking season, netting 26 goals in the Süper Lig and finishing with 37 across all competitions. In addition to his goal tally, Osimhen also contributed five assists in the league and seven overall, underlining his all-round influence in attack.

The Goal of the Season award is just one of several personal accolades Osimhen collected in a memorable year with Galatasaray. The 26-year-old claimed both the Golden Boot and the league’s Best Player award, playing a pivotal role in Galatasaray’s domestic double triumph.

With his loan spell over, Galatasaray are now pushing to secure Osimhen’s services on a permanent basis amid interest from top European clubs. Talks are ongoing between the Turkish champions and the Nigerian star, with the club hopeful he will lead their frontline again next season.
