Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen continued his impressive form in Turkey after finding the net in Galatasaray’s dominant 4-1 victory over Antalyaspor in Saturday night’s Turkish Super Lig clash.

Osimhen, who has quickly become a key figure for the Yellow and Reds, scored Galatasaray’s third goal in the 56th minute, finishing off a swift counter-attacking move that left the Antalyaspor defence exposed. The goal marked his sixth league strike of the season, underlining his growing influence in Okan Buruk’s side.

Galatasaray were largely in control throughout the encounter, showing their attacking depth and tactical discipline as they pushed their title credentials even further. The win allowed the Istanbul giants to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points, a comfortable cushion at this stage of the campaign.

Osimhen is now expected to switch focus to international duty, as he prepares to link up with the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. His timely goal will come as a boost to Nigeria’s coaching crew and fans, who will be hoping he carries this confidence into the continental tournament.

Galatasaray will return to league action on Thursday when they take on Istanbul Başakşehir, a fixture that could further test their title ambitions.

Opinion: Osimhen Hitting Top Gear at the Right Time

Victor Osimhen’s steady rise in Turkey is a reminder that elite strikers need rhythm, trust, and the right system to flourish. While his move to Galatasaray came with high expectations, the Nigerian forward is increasingly showing why he remains one of Africa’s most feared attackers.

Scoring consistently and delivering in big moments, Osimhen appears to be hitting top form at the perfect time—just weeks before AFCON 2025. If he maintains this momentum, Galatasaray’s title push could gain even more steam, while Nigeria may have a proven match-winner ready to lead the line on the continental stage.

For both club and country, Osimhen’s goals are more than numbers—they are statements.
