Galatasaray showed no signs of slowing down in the Trendyol Super Lig, picking up another league win to extend their unbeaten run and keep control of the title race. The night also belonged to Victor Osimhen, whose latest goal saw him reach a historic landmark for the club
Victor Osimhen sealed the win in the 73rd minute, becoming Galatasaray’s fourth-highest foreign goalscorer of all time. The Nigerian forward reached 52 goals for the club, moving past former striker Bafetimbi Gomis.
The visitors took the lead in the 19th minute through Baris Alper Yilmaz, who finished off a well-worked attacking move. Despite several attempts from the home side, Caykur Rizespor were unable to find a goal before halftime.
Galatasaray increased their dominance in the second half. Yunus Akgun doubled the advantage in the 62nd minute with a header, before Osimhen added the third to put the match beyond doubt.
With the victory, Galatasaray recorded their 16th win in 21 league matches, moving to 52 points and sitting six points ahead of Fenerbahce with a game in hand.
The result extended the club’s unbeaten streak in the league to nine matches, during which Galatasaray has collected seven wins and two draws, scoring 25 goals and conceding eight.
