Victor Osimhen has praised his Galatasaray teammates for their resilience following a dominant 3-0 victory over Istanbul rivals Fenerbahçe. The Nigerian striker expressed his delight after the team bounced back from their recent Turkish Cup exit.
The match at RAMS Park saw the Yellow and Reds return to form after a disappointing quarter-final defeat last week. Osimhen highlighted the importance of the win for the fans who had been disappointed by the previous loss.
Striker nets opener in thrilling derby contest
Osimhen opened the scoring in the 40th minute, setting the pace for a high-intensity match. His clinical finish provided the momentum needed for the second-half goals from Baris Yilmaz and Lucas Torreira.
The goal marks Osimhen’s 20th strike across all competitions this season for the Turkish giants. At 27 years old, the forward continues to be the focal point of Okan Buruk’s attacking setup.
Galatasaray move closer to fourth consecutive title
The victory extends Galatasaray’s lead at the top of the table to seven points with only three games remaining. This puts the club in a strong position to clinch their fourth consecutive league title.
The team now shifts its focus to the upcoming league fixture against Samsunspor. Fans are optimistic that Osimhen’s scoring form will carry the club across the finish line in the coming weeks.
