Osimhen scores brace as Galatasaray clinch Turkish Super Lig title
Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, scored twice as Galatasaray defeated Antalyaspor 4-2 to clinch the Turkish Super Lig title.
Galatasaray needed a win to emerge champions of Turkey, but it was Antalyaspor that took the lead just before half-time through Dikmen’s strike.
Galatasaray responded well after the break when Gabon winger, Lemina, found the back of the net in the 56th minute.
Antalyaspor restored their lead in the 62nd minute through Dikmen’s second goal. But Osimhen scored two goals in the 66th and 88th minutes to give his side the lead.
Ayhan added a fourth for Galatasaray in stoppage time to put the game beyond Antalyaspor.
The victory sealed the Super Lig title for Galatasaray for the fourth consecutive time, with Victor Osimhen involved in the last two.
The Nigerian star striker has scored 61 goals in 75 games for the Turkish giants since joining them from Napoli.
