Victor Osimhen produced a powerful performance to guide Galatasaray to a commanding four nil win over Kayserispor in the Turkish Super Lig.
The victory sealed a historic start to the season, matching a record set nearly two decades ago.
The Super Eagles striker, who joined the club in a major summer transfer, finally marked his first goal for the Istanbul giants after a promising debut last week.
This time, he delivered on the big stage with pace and precision.
Early Pressure and First Half Control
Galatasaray started with intent at the Kadir Has Stadium. Midfielder Lucas Torreira came close in the opening minutes, striking the frame of the goal from distance.
Osimhen and Leroy Sane also had early chances but could not convert.
Eren Elmali eventually broke the deadlock, firing home from a rebound to give the visitors a deserved lead. The first half ended one nil but the tempo remained high with Galatasaray in full control.
Osimhen Seals the Show in Second Half
The second half began with another Elmali strike, doubling the lead with a brave header. The hosts struggled to respond as Galatasaray kept pressing.
Osimhen’s moment came late in the match when he combined with Mauro Icardi and Nicolo Zaniolo in midfield before surging into the box to score Galatasaray’s third.
Leroy Sane added a fourth in stoppage time with a deflected shot to complete the rout.
Breaking an 18 Year Record
This victory marked Galatasaray’s third straight win of the season without conceding a goal.
It is the first time since the 2007 08 campaign that the club has achieved such a start.
Coach Orkan Buruk was a player in that historic team, adding an extra layer of pride to the achievement.
With momentum on their side, Galatasaray now turn their focus to their next home clash against Rizespor, looking to extend their winning streak and further cement their title ambitions.
