Osimhen played a key role in the heated clash at the Ulker Stadyumu Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu Spor Kompleksi, assisting Dries Mertens’ crucial second goal in the first half.

After the match, the Nigerian forward acknowledged the fans’ influence on the team’s performance in such a high-stakes encounter.
