Osimhen breaks personal record in Galatasaray win
The 26-year-old forward’s brace brought his season tally to 33 goals across all competitions, surpassing his previous best of 31 goals set during the 2022/23 campaign with Napoli.
Osimhen struck in the 15th and 31st minutes of the first half, setting the tone for Galatasaray’s dominant display. Lucas Torreira and B.A Yilmaz also found the net for the home side, who now sit comfortably atop the league table, eight points ahead of Fenerbahce with a game in hand.
