Nigeria's Dennis Joins Osimhen In Inspiring Cup Heartbreak For Ex-man United Bosses Mourinho And Solskjr

Nigeria's rising star Anthony Dennis has followed in the footsteps of compatriot Victor Osimhen by helping to eliminate a former Manchester United manager from the Turkish Cup, Soccernet.ng reports .

Just 24 hours after Osimhen fired Galatasaray to a 2-1 quarterfinal win over Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce with a stunning brace, Dennis delivered a composed and disciplined performance to guide Goztepe past Ole Gunnar Solskjr's Besiktas with a 3-1 victory in Istanbul on Thursday night.

Solskjr had led Besiktas to an impressive 2-1 league win over Galatasaray last weekend and was hopeful of securing silverware in his debut season with the Turkish giants.

But any hopes of a first trophy quickly faded at the Tupras Stadium, where Goztepe looked the sharper and more organised side throughout the encounter.

Besiktas drew first blood through Albanian international Ernest Muci, but Brazilian striker Romulo Jose Cardoso stole the show with a stunning hat-trick to turn the game on its head and book Goztepe's place in the semifinals.
