Victor Osimhen Scores Twice As Galatasaray S.K. Win Turkish League Title

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored two goals as Galatasaray S.K. came from behind to beat Antalyaspor 4-2 and win the Turkish League title.

Galatasaray went into the match needing only one point to become champions after missing the chance to seal the title last weekend following a heavy defeat to Samsunspor.

Coach Okan Buruk started Osimhen in attack, but the home side found it difficult to take their chances in the first half.

Antalyaspor punished them just before the break when Soner Dikmen scored to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Galatasaray responded strongly after half-time as Mario Lemina scored the equaliser to make it 1-1. However, Antalyaspor restored their lead after Dikmen scored again from a free-kick.

The champions continued to push forward and were rewarded when the referee awarded a penalty. Osimhen stepped up calmly and converted from the spot to level the score once more.

The Nigerian striker later completed the comeback by scoring the third goal for Galatasaray in the closing minutes of the match.

Kaan Ayhan added another goal late on to seal a 4-2 victory for the home side.

The win secured the Turkish League title for Galatasaray for the fourth straight season with one match still left to play.
