Victor Osimhen’s goal against Kayserispor ignites title hopes
Osimhen’s 36th goal of the season wasn’t just another milestone—it became an unforgettable family moment as it was surprisingly announced by his daughter inside Rams Park, drawing cheers from fans across the stadium.
The match began with high energy, and Victor Osimhen wasted no time making an impact.
In the 26th minute, a well-delivered corner from Gabriel Sara found Osimhen, whose thunderous long-range header ricocheted off the left post into the net, giving Galatasaray a deserved lead.
Just three minutes later, Baris Alper Yilmaz doubled the advantage with a precise low shot after receiving a delightful pass in the box.

VAR drama, Muslera’s penalty, and Osimhen’s dominance
Late in the match, Alvaro Morata was brought down in the box, but the referee initially waved play on.
However, after a VAR review, Galatasaray were awarded a penalty. Veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera calmly stepped up and slotted the ball into the bottom right corner to seal the 3-0 win.
Victor Osimhen not only scored but was a dominant force throughout, completing the most dribbles (3) and winning the most duels (8) in the match.
His performance was a key reason Galatasaray extended their unbeaten streak to eight games—all victories.
With two fixtures remaining against Goztepe and Basaksehir, Galatasaray sits four points ahead of Fenerbahce.
A win in their next match will officially crown them champions—and Osimhen’s goal against Kayserispor proves to be the defining moment.
