LAGOS FEBRUARY 18TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Since joining Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen hasn’t stopped scoring in the Super Lig. This time, the Nigerian striker bagged another brace—both headers—in a 2-1 comeback win against Rizespor, proving once again he’s on fire.
The first goal came in the 47th minute, just when things were getting tough for the defending champs. Osimhen soared in the box to meet a pinpoint cross from Przemysław Frankowski and powered a header past the keeper to give Galatasaray the lead.
Just when Fernando Muslera and his team looked in control, Rizespor struck back. In the 54th minute, Ali Sowe capitalized on a perfect assist from David Akintola, finishing inside the box to level the score. But in the dying minutes, the Nigerian “superhero” stepped up once again. In the 86th minute, Osimhen delivered another textbook header, sealing the win for the Turkish champions.
Final Score?
With this result, Galatasaray grabs three crucial points and stays top of the Süper Lig with 63 points, keeping a six-point lead over Fenerbahce, now managed by José Mourinho. Meanwhile, Rizespor remains in 12th place with 27 points.
