Osimhen Opens New League Season With Brace To Help Galatasaray Draw 2-2 With Newly Promoted Corum

Victor Osimhen kicked off the new Turkish Super Lig campaign with two goals, as he helped Galatasaray force newly promoted Corum to a 2-2 home draw on Friday.

Despite going into the contest as clear favourites, Galatasaray were on the verge of suffering a shock defeat against Corum, who already had a player sent off heading into the closing stages before Osimhen netted to rescue a point for the league champions.

After a difficult first half, Osimhen finally broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute to put Galatasaray 1-0 ahead.

But just six minutes after Osimhen’s goal, Corum equalised through Alexandros Kyziridis.

Then Corum went 2-1 up as Jesus Ramirez got on the score sheet just two after they had drew level.

But in the 70th minute Kyziridis turned from hero to villain as he was shown a straight red card.

Galatasaray capitialised on the numerical advantage and piled in the pressure and were rewarded in the 90th as Osimhen was on target again to force a 2-2 draw and a share of the points.
