Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen delivered a spectacular performance, scoring twice to lead Galatasaray to an emphatic 5-1 victory over Fenerbahçe in the Turkish Süper Lig on Sunday. The win, reported by The Punch, strengthens Galatasaray’s grip on top spot in the league.
Osimhen wasted no time making an impact, converting a penalty in the 4th minute to give Galatasaray an early lead. He doubled his tally in the second half, scoring his team’s fourth goal, ensuring their dominance. Barış Alper Yılmaz also impressed, netting two goals (29th and 87th minutes), while Yunus Akgün added another in the 51st minute.
This victory extends Galatasaray’s remarkable unbeaten streak to 18 consecutive away wins, and with 44 points, they remain in control of the Süper Lig. The team also boasts an undefeated record in the Europa League, a testament to their formidable form under coach Okan Buruk.
After the match, Osimhen expressed his delight, saying, “It was very important to come to this team and be part of this club. My teammates made me feel at home, and I quickly understood how they play. We remain unbeaten in Europe, and we continue to focus on the Süper Lig.”
The match also caught the eye of international scouts, particularly from Valencia, who were observing Yunus Akgün’s standout performance. Akgün, a product of Galatasaray’s youth system, has been a key player this season, following a successful loan spell at Leicester City where he helped secure their Premier League promotion.
Galatasaray’s dominant performance not only solidifies their position at the top of the league but also highlights the significant contribution of Osimhen, who continues to make an impact in both domestic and European competitions.
