Victor Osimhen Scores Tenth Goal of the Season in Galatasaray’s Thrilling 3-2 Win Over Sivasspor

Victor Osimhen continued to showcase his remarkable talent by scoring his tenth goal of the season for Galatasaray in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sivasspor on December 8, 2024.

The Nigerian international’s performance has drawn significant praise from Turkish football experts, highlighting his passion and commitment on the field.

The match, held at the Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium, saw Galatasaray take an early lead before facing adversity. After Sivasspor opened the scoring in the 25th minute, Osimhen won a penalty just before halftime when he was fouled by Sivasspor goalkeeper Djordje Nikolic.

He confidently converted the penalty into the top left corner, giving Galatasaray a crucial 2-1 lead going into the break.

Despite being reduced to ten men early in the match due to a red card for defender Metehan Baltaci, Galatasaray managed to maintain their composure. Yunus Akgun restored parity for the team after conceding, and shortly after Osimhen’s penalty, he assisted Baris Alper Yilmaz for Galatasaray’s third goal right after halftime. Sivasspor managed to score a consolation goal in stoppage time through Torac Boke, but it was not enough to change the outcome.

Osimhen’s consistent performance this season has been instrumental in keeping Galatasaray at the top of the Turkish Super Lig standings, where they are currently six points clear of rivals Fenerbahce. In addition to his ten goals, Osimhen has also provided five assists in just 13 appearances across all competitions.

Experts have noted that Osimhen’s ability to perform under pressure and contribute significantly to his team’s success has made him a standout player in Turkish football. His goal-scoring prowess and playmaking abilities have not only helped Galatasaray maintain their unbeaten streak but have also positioned him as one of the league’s top players.

As Galatasaray prepares for their upcoming fixtures, including a crucial Europa League match against Mallorca Osimhen’s form will be pivotal as they aim to secure another league title and make an impact on the European stage.
