While many celebrated his brilliance, some Nigerian fans expressed concerns over his workload, hoping he would be substituted early to avoid injury.

With the Super Eagles set to face Rwanda and Zimbabwe in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers next week, there is anxiety over his fitness, especially as he has yet to feature in the campaign due to previous injuries.

The Spanish striker has not scored much and Osimhen, who is the designated penalty taker for Galatasaray, gave the ball to Morata so he can get on the scoresheet too.

It was a class act by the Nigerian.
