The Comeback King: Victor Osimhen Goal Shifts Momentum for Galatasaray
Nigerian international Victor Osimhen continued his sensational scoring run on Sunday, playing a pivotal role in a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory for Galatasaray over a resilient Goztepe side at RAMS Park.
The victory not only showcased Galatasaray’s title ambition but was directly inspired by Osimhen’s ability to equalize after the team went down early.
From Deficit to Dominance
The home crowd was silenced just six minutes into the game when Efkan Bekiroğlu gave Goztepe the unexpected lead. However, the deficit was short-lived.
In the 19th minute, Osimhen Inspires Galatasaray Comeback by capitalizing on a defensive error to fire home the equalizer. This crucial goal was the 26-year-old Nigerian star’s third league goal of the season, and his third in his last three appearances for the Yellow and Reds, highlighting his consistent form.
Galatasaray completed the turnaround in the second half with goals from Gabriel Sara and a match-sealing strike from star forward Mauro Icardi, solidifying the 3-2 scoreline.
Super Lig Title Push Continues
The hard-fought win maintains Galatasaray’s firm grip at the summit of the Turkish Super Lig table.
With 28 points, the reigning champions are now five points clear of second-placed Trabzonspor, keeping their title defence firmly on track. Goztepe, despite the defeat, remains in fifth place on 16 points after suffering only their second loss of the current campaign. The influence of Victor Osimhen remains a major factor in Galatasaray’s continued success.
