Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen delivered another standout performance, bagging a first-half brace to power Galatasaray to a commanding 4-1 victory over Sivasspor at Rams Park as the Turkish Super Lig leaders closed in on a historic double.
The match started brightly for the hosts, with Lucas Torreira opening the scoring in the 9th minute. Osimhen doubled the lead just six minutes later, tapping into an empty net after Barış Yılmaz’s shot rattled the woodwork and fell perfectly for the Nigerian striker.
Galatasaray weren’t done yet—Yılmaz made it 3-0 in the 21st minute before Osimhen struck again in the 31st, calmly finishing after Roland Sallai’s free-kick delivery dropped kindly in the box. Although Sivasspor pulled one back in the 33rd minute, Galatasaray’s dominance was never in doubt, even after Osimhen’s first-half hat-trick goal was ruled out for offside.

Before kickoff, the moment wasn’t just electric on the pitch; Galatasaray mascots surrounded Osimhen, with one young fan even wearing his trademark protective mask as he carried her onto the field, symbolising his growing legend among supporters.
Galatasaray’s victory marked their fourth consecutive league win and sixth in a row across all competitions, including a 5-1 thrashing of Konyaspor in the Turkish Cup semi-finals. With an eight-point lead at the top of the table and just four matches remaining, Cimbom are firmly on track for a league-and-cup double, with a decisive clash against Trabzonspor looming both in the league and the upcoming cup final.
