Osimhen’s brace lifts Galatasaray over Samsunspor

Victor Osimhen continued his impressive scoring form for Galatasaray, netting a brace in the club’s 3-2 win over Samsunspor in their Turkish Super League match at RAMS Park on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Nigerian striker played a key role in securing the top-of-the-table clash for Galatasaray, who are currently league leaders, against the surprising challengers, Samsunspor.

Osimhen opened the scoring just four minutes into the game with a precise header from Lucas Torreira’s cross, placing the ball into the top corner to the delight of the fans.

Samsunspor equalised early in the second half, but Osimhen quickly restored Galatasaray’s lead five minutes later.

He capitalised on a goalkeeper’s failure to clear a cross, heading the loose ball into the net at the far post.

This marked Osimhen’s second brace in four days, following his Europa League performance against Tottenham on Thursday.

With six goals in six league matches and eight goals in nine appearances since his loan spell began, Osimhen’s form continues to impress.

After his brace, both teams exchanged goals, but Osimhen’s efforts proved crucial in securing all three points for Galatasaray, who extended their lead at the top of the league to six points.
