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.
