In-Form Victor Osimhen Continues to Make a Mark for Galatasaray
Victor Osimhen’s incredible scoring streak shows no signs of slowing down, as the Nigerian forward netted his fourth goal of the season in Galatasaray’s thrilling 2-1 victory over city rivals Besiktas on Monday, October 28.
Osimhen’s decisive headed goal in the 67th minute, scored from a pinpoint cross courtesy of Gabriel Sara, doubled Galatasaray’s lead, highlighting his exceptional aerial prowess and ability to position himself effectively in the box. Although Besiktas pulled one back in stoppage time, Galatasaray held on for a crucial win.
This latest goal marks the third consecutive league match in which Osimhen has found the net, following a spectacular overhead kick against Antalyaspor in his previous outing. His impressive form has not only contributed to Galatasaray’s momentum but also established him as a key player in the squad.
Galatasaray’s victory, coupled with their consistent performance, has enabled them to solidify their position at the top of the Turkish Super Lig, gathering 28 points from 10 matches. This six-point gap ahead of second-placed Samsunspor further cements their position at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Besiktas, who have struggled to find their rhythm, now find themselves in fourth place with 20 points.
Under the guidance of Okan Buruk, Galatasaray has shown impressive form, boasting a record of eight wins and two draws in their last 10 matches across all competitions. This impressive stretch has seen the team score 32 goals while conceding just 12, showcasing their potent attacking threat and defensive solidity.
Osimhen’s impressive performance, which includes three goals and four assists in just five games, has not gone unnoticed, with Chelsea reportedly keeping a close eye on his development, considering a potential move in 2025.
