Osimhen: "We Deserved More" After Galatasaray's Draw with Dynamo Kiev > 자유게시판

Victor Osimhen expressed his disappointment following Galatasaray's 3-3 draw with Dynamo Kiev in a UEFA Europa League match on Tuesday. The Turkish champions squandered a two-goal advantage, allowing their Ukrainian opponents to secure a late equaliser.

Osimhen scored Galatasaray’s second goal of the match from the penalty spot seven minutes into the second half. Reflecting on the result, he acknowledged the team’s collective mistakes but commended Dynamo Kiev for their resilience. "We are disappointed. We thought we deserved more. We all made mistakes, and they capitalised," he told the club's website.

The Nigerian striker urged the team to learn from their errors and improve their cohesion moving forward. "We need to understand each other better during key moments. If I’m making a strong run, I need to know who I can pass to or who can support me. We could have scored more, but we must be better."

With four goals in five Europa League appearances this season, the 26-year-old remains a crucial player for Galatasaray as they aim to progress in the competition.
