Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen continued his impressive form for Galatasaray, scoring a crucial goal in their 3-2 victory over Sivasspor in their Turkish Super Lig clash at the Yeni 4 Eylül Stadyumu on Sunday.
The Nigerian striker’s contribution was instrumental in securing the win for his team.
Galatasaray fell behind in the 25th minute when Garry Rodrigues put Sivasspor ahead. However, Yunus Akgün equalised for the visitors in the 37th minute.
Just before halftime, Osimhen made his mark by converting a penalty to give Galatasaray a 2-1 lead. The Nigerian striker’s composure from the spot extended his impressive form since joining the Turkish giants.
Early in the second half, Barış Yılmaz doubled the advantage for the visitors with a well-taken goal in the 53rd minute. Sivasspor managed to narrow the deficit in stoppage time through Bekir Böke, but it was too late to alter the outcome.
