Victor Osimhen scored his sixth Turkish Super Lig goal of the season as Galatasaray secured a convincing 4-1 away victory over Antalyaspor on Saturday.

The win strengthened Galatasaray’s position at the top of the league standings, extending their lead to five points with 39 points from 16 matches.

Galatasaray took control early, with Leroy Sané opening the scoring in the seventh minute.

Roland Sallai doubled the lead just four minutes later.

Osimhen made it 3-0 in the 56th minute, capitalizing on a pass from Yunus Akgün to drive into the box and finish clinically past goalkeeper Abdullah Yiğiter.

Antalyaspor pulled one back in the 69th minute for a consolation goal, but substitute Mauro Icardi sealed the result with Galatasaray’s fourth in stoppage time.

The goal was Osimhen’s 12th across all competitions in 16 appearances this season for the Turkish champions.

The 26-year-old is now set to join Super Eagles camp ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
