Victor Osimhen scored twice as Galatasaray came from behind to beat Antalyaspor 4-2 on Saturday and clinch the Turkish Super Lig title in front of their home fans.
Galatasaray secured the Turkish Super Lig crown after staging a dramatic comeback victory over Antalyaspor, with Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen delivering another decisive performance for the Istanbul club. The champions entered the match knowing that victory would seal the league title but fell behind just before half-time when Soner Dikmen stunned the home crowd with a powerful header for the visitors.
Despite controlling possession for much of the opening half, Galatasaray struggled to convert their chances, with Osimhen guilty of missing several opportunities before the break. However, coach Okan Buruk’s tactical adjustments after halftime changed the momentum of the game, as substitutes Mario Lemina and Noa Lang helped spark the comeback. Galatasaray equalised in the 57th minute when Lemina headed home from close range following a clever assist from Baris Alper Yilmaz.
Osimhen then took centre stage as Galatasaray intensified their pressure, scoring twice to inspire the hosts to a memorable victory and confirm their status as Turkish champions. His late strike sealed the 4-2 triumph and sent jubilant supporters into celebration at full-time. The result capped a remarkable season for the Nigerian forward, whose goals and performances played a major role in Galatasaray’s successful title campaign.
