Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, delivered a sensational performance on Friday night, scoring a hat-trick as Galatasaray cruised to a commanding 4-0 victory over Antalyaspor.
The Nigerian forward was the star of the show at Rams Park, with Álvaro Morata also getting on the scoresheet from the penalty spot.
Osimhen broke the deadlock in the 30th minute, capitalizing on a precise assist from Morata.
Just before the break, Galatasaray doubled their advantage when Morata converted a penalty in the 45th minute.
Three minutes into first-half stoppage time, Osimhen struck again, this time benefiting from a well-timed pass by B. Yılmaz.
The 52nd minute saw Osimhen complete his hat-trick in style, latching onto a delivery from Y. Akgün. His latest goal haul propels his league tally to 20 goals in 22 appearances, cementing his status as the Turkish Süper Lig’s top scorer.
Since making a loan switch from Napoli after the fourth match of the season, Osimhen has been in electrifying form, amassing 26 goals and providing 5 assists in 30 games across all competitions.
Galatasaray’s emphatic triumph strengthens their grip on the Süper Lig title race. Before this fixture, they sat at the top of the standings with 68 points from 26 matches, boasting an unbeaten record of 21 wins and 5 draws. Their closest challengers, Fenerbahçe, trailed with 61 points from 25 matches.
With this latest win, Galatasaray extend their tally to 71 points, further solidifying their title ambitions.
