Leão thanks Osimhen for allowing him to take penalty

Galatasaray forward Rafael Leão has expressed his gratitude to Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen for allowing him to take a penalty during the club's 4-0 victory over Konyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig. Leão, who scored his first goal for the Turkish champions, was given the opportunity by Osimhen, despite the latter being the club's regular penalty taker.

The gesture came a day after Osimhen and his partner welcomed their second daughter, Liora Audrey. Osimhen had earlier opened the scoring with a header in the 12th minute, dedicating the goal to his newborn daughter. Leão praised Osimhen's generosity, describing it as a reflection of the strong team spirit within the Galatasaray dressing room.
