Osimhen aims at Fenerbahce

As noted by Galatasaray's match report, Goztepe defender Malcolm Bokele was sent off in the 42nd minute for a second bookable offence after elbowing Victor Osimhen.

The incident sparked controversy in the Turkish media, with many claiming that the elbow was inadvertent and should not have been booked with the player already on a yellow card.

The Super Eagles forward spoke about the incident after the match, confirming that Bokele hit him hard and the incident is bookable anywhere.

“I didn't know Bokele was already on a yellow card. For me, I think his hand was on my cheek and he hit me so hard, but I wouldn't say much about this, the referee already decided as there was contact for sure,” he told Forza Cimbom.

The Nigerian forward did not miss the chance to troll rivals Fenerbahce, whom he claimed would be crying on social media.

The rivalry between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce has been heated since its inception, and it took another turn last season when Jose Mourinho was in charge of Fener.

The Special One, known for being an instigator, brought drama to the rivalry, including physically attacking Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk.

As noted by Goal, the derby at Fenerbahçe's home last season was officiated by Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic after multiple complaints about Turkish referees.

Osimhen has played three times against the fierce rivals, won twice, and drawn once. He scored two goals in the Turkish Cup quarter-final last season.
