Osimhen Scores As Galatasaray Win Turkish League, Second Trophy In Five Days

Osimhen Scores As Galatasaray Win Turkish League, Second Trophy In Five Days

Five days after the Lions were declared the winners of the Turkish Super Lig, Galatasaray defeated Kayserispor 3-0 on Sunday to claim the title. Victor Osimhen from Nigeria was once more on target. &nbsp,

In the 26th minute of the match, Osimhen, 24, scored from the top of Gabriel Sara’s cross to lead his club. &nbsp,

Hailey, the daughter of the Nigerian striker, announced his father as the scorer, which made the goal special.

The second of the night was scored by Baris Alper Yilmaz three minutes later. Osimhen allowed goalkeeper Fernando Muslera to take the spot kick, but he was designated as the Turkish side’s penalty taker. &nbsp,

The 38-year-old Uruguayan, who was expected to leave the club at the end of the season, hit the back of the net as Galatasaray cruised to a 3-0 victory, tying them with the title.

Galatasaray won the Turkish League game with an unachievable 89 points, eight ahead of Fenerbahce’s Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, who are still playing.

Galatasaray won the Turkish Cup just days after winning the 25th Super Lig title over Trabzonspor. Osimhen, who is currently out on a season-long loan from Napoli in Italy, added a brace to his impressive form this campaign.

Osimhen now has 25 league goals this season thanks to Sunday’s goal. The Super Eagles became the most prolific foreign player in Turkish football when he scored a brace last Wednesday, breaking the 24-year-old record. His 34 goals in a campaign was more than Brazilian legend Mario Jardel’s.

However, according to local media, Mourinho’s departure from Fenerbahce could result from losing out on silverware a year before his contract expires.

Mourinho’s team failed to win any of the four Istanbul derbies against Galatasaray and Besiktas, which was their last triumphant season 11 years ago.
