Osimhen’s penalty powers the Turkish giants to a vital victory in a dominant performance at Rams Park.

Victor Osimhen once again proved his worth as Galatasaray’s talisman, scoring the decisive goal in their 1-0 triumph over Konyaspor in the Super Lig clash at Rams Park on Saturday.

The Super Eagles star has been in blistering form, with this goal marking his third in two games. Galatasaray came out firing from the first whistle, showcasing their dominance against a resolute Konyaspor side.

Osimhen nearly made an early impact in the 12th minute when he met a cross in the box, only to see his header drift narrowly wide. However, his persistence paid off in the 20th minute as he won a penalty after drawing a foul from Konyaspor’s Ismael Jakobs. The Nigerian striker stepped up confidently and slotted the ball past the goalkeeper, giving Galatasaray a deserved lead.

Despite their first-half dominance, the Turkish giants couldn’t add to their tally. In the second half, Osimhen thought he had doubled his tally in the 54th minute, only to see his effort ruled out for offside. He continued to torment the opposition defense, forcing saves and creating chances, but the scoreline remained unchanged.

Osimhen ended the game with six attempts on goal, his relentless effort encapsulating Galatasaray’s attacking intent. With this win, the Turkish champions bolstered their position at the top of the league standings.
