By Adamu Abubakar Isa

ISTANBUL, Turkey – Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen emerged as the hero for Galatasaray on Saturday night, scoring a decisive brace to lead the Turkish giants to a record 26th Super Lig championship following a thrilling 4-2 victory over Antalyaspor.

Okay News reports that the Nigerian forward delivered a clutch performance at RAMS Park when his team needed it most. With the match deadlocked at 2-2 in the second half and the home crowd growing anxious, Osimhen stepped up to convert a crucial penalty in the 66th minute, restoring Galatasaray’s advantage.

The prolific striker, currently on loan from Napoli, then put the result beyond doubt by netting his second goal of the night in the 88th minute. His dominant display cemented his status as one of the most impactful signings in the Turkish top flight this season and ensured the championship trophy remained in Istanbul.

The title-deciding fixture had seen Antalyaspor threaten to spoil the party after twice fighting back from behind. However, following Osimhen’s decisive intervention, a late stoppage-time goal from substitute Kaan Ayhan completed the 4-2 scoreline, sparking wild celebrations as Galatasaray extended their reign as the most decorated club in Turkish football history.
