Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen was in action as Galatasaray secured a crucial 2-0 win over Bodrum FK, taking them one step closer to clinching the Turkish Super Lig title.
Galatasaray came into the game needing a victory as they were only three points ahead of second-placed Fenerbahçe. However, the league leaders faced a determined Bodrum side who had secured consecutive cleansheets, helping them climb to 14th on the table.
Galatasaray took the lead few seconds to the half hour, with Lucas Torreira heading in Gabriel Sara’s freekick before a penalty claim was dismissed by VAR, keeping the visitors’ hopes alive going into halftime.
In the second half, the Turkish Champions continued to dominate the game in search of another goal. Despite a resilient effort from Bodrum, Galatasaray eventually got their second goal in the 81st minute courtesy of Davinson Sanchez’ header, ultimately securing all three points in front of a jubilant home crowd.
