Like Osimhen, Another Super Eagles Player Sets Record In Debut Win

It was a relatively good weekend for Super Eagles players playing for their club over the weekend as club actions returned after the international break.

Notably, Victor Osimhen made his debut for Galatasaray and shone like a million star, providing an assist as Galatasaray glided past Rizespor 5-0 on Friday.

Beyond the assist and winning debut, he garnished his superlative performance by taking seven shots, a record for a player making his debut in the Turkey Super League.

To a large extent, this makes up for the lack of a debut goal, as it gives his numerous Galatasaray fans what to expect from him in the season.

The performance is a refreshing climax to the torrid preseason and transfer worries he had with Napoli as Victor Osimhen, turned a corner when needed not allowing the summer trauma to affect his performance.

Just Like Victor Osimhen, Frank Onyeka also made his Bundesliga debut for Augsburg.

He also made his debut with a win playing his part by providing an assist in Augsburg 3-1 win over FC St. Pauli at WWK ARENA on Sunday afternoon.

The Super Eagles midfielder who completed a deadline move from England to Germany assisted Augsburg’s second goal in the 67th minute.

Frank delivered a superb cross into the area which met by Phillip Tietz head to double Augsburg’s lead, after
Wolf’s 47th minute opener.

The combative midfielder showed enough of what the German fans should expect and put an icing on the cake of his performance by making into the record books on his Bundesliga debut before leaving the pitch in the 83rd minute for
Arne Maier in the 83rd minute.

According to the official website of the Bundesliga, Onyeka reached a speed of 32.57 km/h, one of the fastest for a player on their debut.

He was the third fastest player on the pitch with only Dimitrios Christos Giannoulis (34.73 km/h) and Ruben Vargas (33.56 km/h) with higher speeds.
