Victor Osimhen’s bicycle kick against Antalyaspor has been named the 2024/25 Turkish Süper Lig Goal of the Season, capping off a sensational debut campaign for the Nigerian striker.
The acrobatic effort came deep into stoppage time, as Osimhen capitalised on a defensive lapse during a late set piece.
Allowing the ball to bounce inside the box, he launched into a perfectly timed overhead kick that flew past the goalkeeper, an electrifying finish that brought fans to their feet and earned global praise.
Osimhen, 26, joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli last September and quickly became the focal point of the club’s attack. He finished the season as the Süper Lig’s top scorer with 26 goals, adding 11 more across other competitions to bring his total tally to 37.
The Goal of the Season strike was his third league goal for Galatasaray and part of a dominant display that contributed significantly to the club’s title charge. Osimhen’s overall influence was undeniable, netting consistently, providing five league assists, and delivering decisive performances in big matches.
His remarkable season saw him sweep several individual honours, including the Süper Lig Golden Boot and Best Player award, as he helped Galatasaray complete a domestic double.
Osimhen’s award-winning goal not only showcased his technical brilliance but also solidified his reputation as one of Europe’s deadliest forwards.
