Galatasaray’s Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, capped off the Turkish Süper Lig season with a trademark flourish by netting his 26th league goal—37th across all competitions—in a 2-0 victory over Istanbul Başakşehir.
Returning to the starting XI after missing the previous match, Osimhen led the attack at a raucous Rams Park, where Dries Mertens converted a penalty in the 17th minute.
However, it was Osimhen’s powerful header in the 81st minute that truly electrified the home crowd, as he rose to meet a precise cross and sent supporters into euphoria.
That finish not only underscored his clinical prowess but also confirmed that this would likely be his final outing for the Lions.
Substituted in the 88th minute, Osimhen departed to a standing ovation, acknowledging the fans who have embraced his meteoric season.
Ending with 26 goals in 28 league appearances and 37 in 36 matches in all competitions, his farewell display was packed with energy and unerring precision.
As transfer speculation intensifies, Galatasaray supporters will long remember the season-defining contributions of their Nigerian talisman.
