Victor Osimhen featured for Galatasaray in their 2-0 home victory over Bodrum on Friday night, helping the Turkish giants maintain their grip on the top spot in the Super Lig.
The Super Eagles striker, who has been Galatasaray’s standout performer this season, led the line once again, fresh off a goal in his last outing.
Galatasaray started the game on the front foot, dominating possession and pushing Bodrum into their own half.
Their persistence paid off in the first half when former Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira broke the deadlock, giving the home fans something to cheer about before the break.
After the break, the momentum stayed with the league leaders. They doubled their advantage through a well-executed corner, with defender Davinson Sánchez rising highest to head home and seal the three points for the hosts.
Osimhen, who was a constant threat with his movement and hold-up play, was substituted in the 86th minute to a warm reception from the Galatasaray faithful.
It was his 25th league appearance of the season, during which he has registered an impressive 21 goals and four assists making him the club’s top scorer by a significant margin.
Despite not adding to his tally, Osimhen’s influence remains pivotal as the title race intensifies.
His presence continues to give Galatasaray an edge in attack as they push for domestic silverware.
Galatasaray remain top of the Turkish Super Lig, extending their lead to six points over second-placed Fenerbahce, who are set to play later in the weekend.
With few games remaining, every point matters in what has become one of the most tightly contested Super Lig title races in recent years.
