The Nigerian striker, often under pressure from fans and critics, silenced his doubters with a decisive goal, a crucial assist, and nearly added a third with two close attempts in Istanbul.
From the first whistle, Dessers showed confidence and control. He opened the scoring for Rangers, provided the assist for the second goal, and played a key role in the team’s third, cementing himself as the standout player of the night. This match marked Dessers’ 22nd goal of the season, matching his tally from the previous year and proving his consistency on the European stage.
Rangers’ fans have had mixed feelings about Dessers since his arrival, often debating his impact.
