Victor Osimhen shines in Galatasaray win

Victor Osimhen set up Galatasaray’s second goal before putting the result beyond doubt with a late strike to seal the 3-1 triumph over Alanyaspor.

The 27-year-old now boasts four Super Lig assists and 10 goals this season, taking his total league goal contributions to 14. Impressively, all four assists have come in his last four league outings.

He has also scored in back-to-back matches, following his goal against Juventus in the Champions League.

The former Napoli forward has delivered 17 goals and 6 assists in 25 games this season.

Osimhen featured for 86 minutes before making way for Mauro Icardi after an influential display.

Turkish Super Lig dominance continues

It was a cagey encounter early on, but Galatasaray finally broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time through Sacha Boey.

Lucas Torreira teed up Boey, who fired home from close range into the bottom-left corner, giving the goalkeeper no chance as the hosts carried a slender lead into the break.

Alanyaspor responded swiftly after the restart. Just four minutes into the second half, Florent Hadergjonaj delivered a pinpoint cross that Steve Mounie powered into the bottom-right corner with a close-range header to level the score.

Galatasaray regained control nine minutes later. Lucas Torreira found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper after latching onto a loose ball that fell kindly following Osimhen’s attempted bicycle kick.

Torreira calmly slotted his effort down the middle to restore the lead.

With seven minutes remaining, Osimhen capped his performance in style. Capitalising on a costly error from Paulo Victor, the Nigerian forward seized on the loose ball and calmly finished to secure the victory.

After reaching double figures in league goals, Osimhen continues to lead Galatasaray’s charge at the top of the Turkish Super Lig table.

The league leaders now sit on 58 points from 24 matches, underlining their title credentials.
