Victor Osimhen scored his 30th goal of the season to propel Galatasaray into the Turkish Cup final, as the Istanbul giants thrashed Konyaspor 5-1 in their semi-final match on Tuesday.
The Nigerian striker opened the scoring in the 26th minute, connecting with a wonderful cross from former Napoli colleague Dries Mertens and smashing a header past the Konyaspor custodian to put his side ahead.
This stunning score adds to Osimhen’s outstanding goal-scoring record this season, as he now has 30 goals in all competitions and six assists for the Turkish champions.

The victory keeps Galatasaray on course for a domestic double this season, as they currently hold a five-point lead at the top of the Super Lig with six games remaining.
The Istanbul giants are aiming to claim their first Turkish Cup since the 2016/17 campaign.
Osimhen has been in sensational form throughout the season, netting 21 goals in the Super Lig, six in the Europa League, and now three in Turkish Cup competitions during his loan spell from Napoli.
The Nigerian striker is expected to leave the club this summer but has expressed his desire to help Galatasaray secure both league and cup honours before his departure.
