In a thrilling Istanbul derby on Monday night, Nigerian international Victor Osimhen scored a brace as Galatasaray narrowly defeated Fenerbahçe 2-1 at the RAMS Park. The Nigeria international opened the scoring for the hosts one minute before the half-hour mark, following a pass from Barış Alper Yılmaz. Osimhen then doubled Galatasaray’s lead before halftime with a superb strike. The victory lifts Galatasaray to third in the Turkish Super Lig, five points behind leaders Trabzonspor. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Osimhen’s brace helped the team reclaim second place in the table, ahead of Beşiktaş. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray from Napoli this summer, has now scored five goals in eight league appearances for his new club. The Nigeria international will be hoping to continue his impressive form when Galatasaray face Gaziantep FK in their next league game on November 5.
