Osimhen, Icardi score as Galatasaray extend league lead

Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen had a remarkable impact during Galatasaray’s recent 3-0 win over Antalyaspor. After recovering from an injury, Osimhen was substituted in the 78th minute to a round of applause from the fans. The team was already in control of the match, with Mauro Icardi scoring two goals earlier. Osimhen had previously been injured during a match against Kasimpasa but had returned to form with two goals in eight minutes. Reports indicated that Osimhen had started solo training to aid his recovery. A video shared by Galatasaray during the international break showed Osimhen training separately from the team as part of a specialized program. Osimhen showcased his value by scoring a late goal just before the final whistle, securing a victory for Galatasaray. The coach praised Osimhen’s return, and his goal in the match highlighted his importance to the team. This win propelled Galatasaray to the top of the league table with 25 points from nine games. Their upcoming fixtures include a league game against Besiktas and a Europa League match against IF Elfsborg.
