Osimhen Hits 15th Goal as Galatasaray Strengthen Title Push

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen continued his impressive form in Turkey after scoring in Galatasaray’s convincing 3-0 victory over Caykur Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig.

The Nigerian forward sealed the win with Galatasaray’s third goal, finding the net with just 11 minutes left to play. The strike marked Osimhen’s 15th goal of the season and followed his earlier effort in the previous league clash against Kayserispor, underlining his growing influence in Okan Buruk’s squad.

With nine league goals already to his name, the 27-year-old has become a key figure in Galatasaray’s attacking force as they remain top of the standings with 52 points from 21 matches. The Yellow and Reds will now shift focus to their next fixture against Eyuspor on Friday, where they hope to maintain their strong momentum.

Opinion:
Osimhen’s consistency in front of goal is quickly turning him into one of the most reliable strikers in the Turkish league this season. Beyond the numbers, his ability to step up in crucial moments gives Galatasaray an extra edge in the title race. For Nigerian fans, every goal feels like a reminder of the Super Eagles’ attacking strength on the global stage.

If he continues on this path, Osimhen’s performances could play a defining role not only in Galatasaray’s championship ambitions but also in boosting confidence ahead of international competitions. More importantly, his form shows how Nigerian players are increasingly becoming central figures in Europe’s biggest football conversations.
