Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has expressed his disappointment over a penalty incident that occurred during his side's 2-2 draw against Eyüpspor in the Trendyol Süper Lig fixture played on Sunday at the RAMS Park, according to AllNigeriaSoccer.
The match was marred with several controversial decisions from referee Oguzhan Çakir, one of which involved an action involving Osimhen. In the 21st minute of the game, Osimhen was brought down in the penalty area by Lucas Claro, which led to a protest from the Galatasaray players that a spot kick should be given.
Despite the protests, Çakir ignored their call, and the game continued without a penalty being awarded. Osimhen had earlier missed a golden opportunity to continue his fine scoring form and couldn't get on the scoresheet in the game but recorded an assist.
Galatasaray still lead the standings with 35 points, six points more than Fenerbahçe and Samsunspor. However, the dropped points could have significant implications for the title race, especially if Fenerbahçe closes the gap with a victory over Gaziantep F. K.
Osimhen's penalty incident has sparked controversy, and the striker has insisted that the referee should have pointed to the spot. The incident has left Galatasaray fans wondering what could have been if the penalty had been awarded.
