On Saturday, Super Eagles forwards Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze both found the net for their respective clubs, leading them to victory, according to Soccernet.ng.
Samuel Chukwueze earned a surprising start for AC Milan in their match against Udinese at the Giuseppe Meazza, despite a shaky performance history that raised concerns about his future at the club.
Chukwueze silenced his critics early in the game, scoring with precision after a quick transition from defense to attack. Christian Pulisic made a dynamic run down the left and delivered a well-placed pass to Chukwueze, who finished cleanly from the edge of the box.
Although AC Milan dominated the match, they faced a setback when Tijjani Reijnders was sent off in the 29th minute. This shift in momentum allowed Udinese to press for an equalizer, but they couldn’t convert their chances.
Chukwueze had an impressive overall performance, contributing defensively and remaining active in attacking plays. The match concluded with a 1-0 victory for Milan, earning Chukwueze the man of the match award.
Meanwhile, in Turkey, Victor Osimhen made a significant impact for Galatasaray upon his return from injury. Although he started on the bench for the game against Antalyaspor as a precaution, Galatasaray led 2-0 before he was substituted in during the 78th minute.
He had a goal ruled out shortly after entering, but he redeemed himself by scoring in stoppage time. Osimhen executed a stunning overhead kick from a loose ball in the box, sealing the match at 3-0 for the Turkish champions.
