Victor Osimhen scored his sixth penalty in the Super Lig this season but it was not enough to stop the champions from slipping in the title race
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen kept up his 100% record from the spot for Galatasaray, netting his sixth penalty of the Super Lig season; however, his efforts were not enough to help the Rams secure all three points against Kasimpasa.
Osimhen scored twice to give Galatasaray the lead twice, but on both occasions, the league leaders were pegged back, leading to a 3-3 entertaining draw against hosts Kasimpasa.
How it happened
The Nigerian striker opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 11th minute, maintaining his flawless record from 12 yards this season. At halftime, it looked like Galatasaray were in control, but the second half had other ideas.
Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen has shone on loan at Galatasaray.
Kasimpasa came out swinging after the break, flipping the game on its head with two quickfire goals from Ben Quanes and Brekalo in the 52nd and 61st minutes.
Just when things seemed to be slipping away, Galatasaray fought back as Davinson Sanchez equalised in the 68th minute, and Osimhen added his second of the night four minutes later, taking his season tally to 22 across all competitions.
But the drama was not over yet—Kasimpasa won a late penalty, and Hanradinovic made no mistake, ensuring both teams shared the spoils.
While the draw keeps Galatasaray seven points clear at the top, arch-rivals Fenerbahçe could cut the gap to four if they win their next match. With just 11 games left, the title race is heating up, and every point counts.
