Osimhen scores 14th Super Lig goal in 16 matches

Osimhen scores 14th Super Lig goals in 16 matches

After missing out of the UEFA Europa League playoffs last weekend, Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen returned with a bang, scoring twice for Galatasaray in their hard-fought 2-1 win over Rizespor at the Caykur Didi Stadyumu Monday night.
The Napoli loaner had a silent first half but got into the game in the second half.
Two minutes on resumption, Osimhen registered his name on the scoresheet. The former Napoli man jumped highest to head in a cross from Przemyslaw Frankowski to make it 1-0 after 47 minutes. Two Rizespor defenders heavily marked Osimhen before the cross, but he still managed to climb high and plant the header into the net.
Osimhen has scored 14 goals in 18 Turkish Super Lig matches for Galatasaray, now six points clear of closest rival, Fenerbahce.
In the 86th minute, Osimhen capitalised on an assist from Mario Lemine to send the ball nestling in the net for his second goal.
That goal was enough to give Galatasaray all three points at Rizespor to maintain a six-point lead over Fenerbahce at the summit of the Super Lig.
