Osimhen Shines with Goal and Assist in Galatasaray Win
The Round 20 fixture at RAMS Park saw Osimhen open his account with a penalty in the 26th minute and set up Gabriel Sara’s goal just after the hour mark.
His performance confirmed his importance to Galatasaray, with the 27-year-old now scoring in back-to-back Super Lig matches.
The scoring started early when Kayserispor’s Aaron Opoku inadvertently deflected the ball into his own net in the 7th minute.
Osimhen then doubled the lead with a composed spot-kick, leaving goalkeeper Bilal Bayazit no chance.
This match also marked a special milestone for Victor Osimhen, who reached 200 career goals in just 336 appearances with 51 assists as well.
Across all competitions this season, Osimhen has scored 14 goals, including six in the UEFA Champions League, while also contributing one assist in the league. He was substituted after 82 minutes for Ahmed Kutucu.
Galatasaray kept up the pressure, with Gabriel Sara finishing a neat lay-off from Osimhen to make it 3–0.
Kayserispor briefly thought they had a lifeline through Miguel Cardoso, but VAR ruled the goal out for offside.
In stoppage time, Mauro Icardi converted a penalty to seal the 4–0 victory, capping a memorable night for Osimhen and the hosts.
