Galatasaray finally kick off their season. Facing Erzurumspor, the Istanbul giants cruised to a 4-0 win to clinch their first victory in the Trendyol Super Lig. And once again, Victor Osimhen took center stage.

The Nigerian star netted a brace and delivered an assist. It was a masterclass performance that temporarily sends Galatasaray to the top of the league table.

A season starting on the same high notes

The opening matchday had already set the tone. Against newly promoted Corum at home (2-2), the defending champions had to rely on their striker. Osimhen also bagged a brace there to avoid an upset. Two matches, two braces— the 27-year-old Nigerian already has four goals and is firmly atop the Turkish Super Lig scoring charts.

The Cimbom’s talisman since 2024

Arriving from Napoli in 2024, Osimhen made an instant impact in Turkey. His debut season was unforgettable with 37 goals and 7 assists. Last year, he kept up the momentum, racking up 22 goals and 6 assists.

This season, he looks set to maintain the same blistering standards. Wearing the iconic yellow and red, he continues to lead Galatasaray’s attack single-handedly. With this emphatic win, the team grows in confidence. If Osimhen keeps up this pace, Galatasaray’s title challenge is off to a flying start once again.
