Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen continued his impressive scoring form on Friday, netting once as Galatasaray defeated Konyaspor 4-0 away from home in the Turkish Süper Lig.
The Nigerian forward opened the scoring in the 12th minute, rising to head home a free-kick delivered by Gabriel Sara at the MEDAŞ Konya Büyükşehir Stadium.
Galatasaray doubled their advantage in the 28th minute through Yunus Akgün, who fired a powerful effort into the net after receiving a pass from Aleksey Batrakov.
Batrakov got on the scoresheet himself four minutes into the second half, finishing a pass from Sara to extend the visitors’ lead to 3-0.
Rafael Leão completed the scoring in the 55th minute, converting a penalty after a VAR review awarded Galatasaray a spot-kick following a foul on the forward inside the box.
The victory extended Galatasaray’s winning streak in the league to four matches, following their 2-1 triumph over arch-rivals Fenerbahçe in Monday’s Istanbul derby.
Osimhen also starred in that encounter, scoring both goals to secure victory for the Turkish champions.
The 27-year-old’s latest strike took his league tally to nine goals in eight appearances, placing him at the top of the Süper Lig scoring chart.
The result moved Galatasaray to 25 points from 10 matches, keeping them top of the standings, while Konyaspor remained on eight points.
