Turkey: Osimhen On Target Again As Galatasaray Beat Istanbul Başakşehir Away

Victor Osimhen continued his impressive scoring run as Galatasaray defeated Istanbul Başakşehir 3-2 in a thrilling Turkish Super Lig encounter on Friday.

Osimhen fired the defending champions ahead in the 13th minute, finishing brilliantly after being set up by Lucas Torreira.

The Super Eagles striker has now scored six goals in four league appearances for the Yellow and Reds this season.

His evening was, however, cut short after he picked up an injury in the first half.

Osimhen received treatment on the pitch before being replaced by Barış Alper Yılmaz in the 33rd minute.

Başakşehir fought back after the break, with Eldor Shomurodov restoring parity in the 66th minute.

Galatasaray regained the lead five minutes later through Torreira, but Davinson Sánchez’s own goal brought the hosts level once again.

Gabriel Sara eventually secured all three points for Galatasaray with a dramatic winner in the 90th minute.

The victory maintained Galatasaray’s strong start to the new Turkish Super Lig campaign.
