Istanbul: Victor Osimhen continued his blistering form in Trkiye after finding the net in Galatasaray's commanding 3-0 victory over Caykur Rizespor in Sunday's Turkish Super Lig encounter, APA reports.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the reigning champions set the tone early, dominating possession and pressing aggressively. This strategy paid off when Baris Alper Yilmaz opened the scoring. The winger rose highest to head home a well-weighted cross from Noa Lang, giving the Yellow and Reds a deserved lead.
Galatasaray maintained their control after the break and doubled their advantage shortly after the hour mark. Yilmaz turned provider this time, cleverly teeing up Yunus Akgn, who made no mistake with a composed finish to put daylight between the hosts and their opponents.
The victory was sealed in the 73rd minute by Osimhen, who calmly converted to register his 15th league goal of the season. The Nigerian striker's latest effort underlined his importance to Okan Buruk's side as they continue their push for another league crown.
The win extends Galatasaray's lead at the top of the Super Lig table to six points. They now sit on 52 points from 21 matches, while closest challengers Fenerbahce trail on 46 points, albeit with a game in hand. Galatasaray will look to build on this momentum when they welcome Eyuspor in their next league fixture on Friday, as the title race continues to gather pace.
