Victor Osimhen continued his impressive run of form in the Süper Lig, scoring as Galatasaray S.K. secured a 3–1 home victory over Alanyaspor on Saturday evening.
Galatasaray took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Sacha Boey, who found the back of the net in the 45th minute to give the hosts a deserved advantage heading into the break.
Alanyaspor responded early in the second half as Steve Mounié restored parity, capitalising on a defensive lapse to make it 1–1.
The home side regained control midway through the second half when Luca Touré fired Galatasaray back in front to make it 2–1.
Osimhen then put the result beyond doubt in the 83rd minute, finishing clinically to register his name on the scoresheet and seal all three points for the Istanbul giants.
The victory further strengthens Galatasaray’s push in the league standings, with Osimhen once again proving decisive in the final third.
