Mehmet Özcan, a commentator for Galatasaray, has explained why Victor Osimhen allowed his teammate Barış Alper Yılmaz to take a penalty during Sunday night’s thrilling 3-0 victory over Fenerbahçe at Rams Park.
Before Yılmaz extended the lead from the penalty spot in the second half, Osimhen, who had just returned from injury, had given the home team the lead.
Many supporters were taken aback by this choice, given the Nigerian striker’s established status as the team’s primary penalty taker and his almost perfect record from 12 yards.
Özcan speculated that Yılmaz’s future with the team may have influenced the decision in a conversation on the 10 Numara YouTube channel.
According to Habersarikirmizi, he said, “My trustworthy source on the intelligence front advised us to look into why Barış Alper Yılmaz took the penalty in the Fenerbahçe match.”
“Osimhen’s handling of penalties has been flawless. Maybe he wanted to show that he is a “True Galatasaray player” and not lose the opportunity to score in his final derby game for Galatasaray.
Since then, Osimhen’s behavior has been seen as an example of teamwork and leadership within the team, highlighting his growing impact since joining the team.
In 31 games across all competitions, the 27-year-old has 20 goals and seven assists.
