On a night when Galatasaray needed a spark to reignite their form, Victor Osimhen stepped up with a brace, leading the team to a stunning 5-1 victory over Kayserispor.
Making his first start since returning from injury, Osimhen led the line for the reigning Super Lig champions, who were eager to end a three-game winless streak.
The Nigerian striker wasted no time in making an impact, converting a penalty just three minutes into the match to give Galatasaray an early lead.
However, Kayserispor responded quickly, equalizing in the 13th minute through Stéphane Bahoken.
The hosts’ celebrations were short-lived as Barış Yılmaz restored Galatasaray’s advantage with a clinical finish in the 29th minute, ensuring the visitors went into halftime 2-1 up.
Galatasaray came out firing in the second half. Yunus Akgün extended their lead with a well-taken goal before setting up Osimhen for his second of the night in the 71st minute, marking the team’s fourth goal.
Barış Yılmaz completed the rout in the 87th minute with his second goal, capping off a dominant display from the Istanbul giants.
The emphatic victory solidified Galatasaray’s position at the top of the Super Lig standings with 44 points from 16 matches.
Victor Osimhen has been instrumental for the Yellow and Reds this season, amassing 12 goals and five assists across all competitions.
His return to form after injury is a major boost for Galatasaray as they continue their title defense.
