Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen kicked off 2025 in style by scoring his 10th Turkish Super Lig goal as Galatasaray secured a 2-1 victory over Goztepe on Saturday evening.
Osimhen’s Decisive Contribution
The Super Eagles forward gave Galatasaray an early lead, converting a penalty in the 10th minute.
This marked his 10th goal in just 12 league appearances since joining the Istanbul club on a season-long loan from Napoli.
He also has three assists to his name this season, further underlining his importance to the team.
Galatasaray’s victory extended their lead at the top of the Turkish Super Lig to 11 points ahead of second-placed Fenerbahce, who still have a game in hand.
The win keeps the league leaders firmly in control, while Goztepe remains fifth with 28 points.
Special Dedication
Osimhen celebrated his goal with a touching tribute to Tony and Toby Elumelu, the twin children of Nigerian billionaire Tony Elumelu.
