Victor Osimhen featured for Galatasaray in their 2-0 home victory over Bodrum on Friday night, helping the Turkish giants maintain their grip on the top spot in the Super Lig.
The Super Eagles striker, who has been Galatasaray’s standout performer this season, led the line once again, fresh off a goal in his last outing.
Galatasaray started the game on the front foot, dominating possession and pushing Bodrum into their own half. Their relentless pressure created several chances early on, but it was Lucas Torreira’s clinical finish that broke the deadlock in the 42nd minute, giving the home team a well-deserved lead before halftime. The Galatasaray fans were elated as their team took control of the match.
After the break, the momentum stayed with the league leaders. Galatasaray’s attacking intensity did not let up, and they doubled their advantage in the 55th minute through a well-executed corner. Defender Davinson Sánchez rose highest to meet the cross and nodded it past Bodrum’s goalkeeper to seal the three points for the hosts. The goal provided a cushion and effectively ended the contest, with Bodrum unable to mount a comeback.
Osimhen, who was a constant threat with his movement and hold-up play, was substituted in the 86th minute to a warm reception from the Galatasaray faithful. Though he didn’t get on the scoresheet, his presence was crucial in maintaining the flow of attack, and his tireless work on the ball kept Bodrum’s defenders busy throughout the match.
It was his 25th league appearance of the season, during which he has registered an impressive 21 goals and four assists making him the club’s top scorer by a significant margin. His performance in this game further highlighted his importance to the team, as he continues to be a key player in their pursuit of the Super Lig title.
Despite not adding to his tally, Osimhen’s influence remains pivotal as the title race intensifies. His ability to link up play and create space for his teammates continues to give Galatasaray an edge in attack as they push for domestic silverware. His contributions go beyond goals, as he is the focal point of Galatasaray’s offensive play.
Galatasaray remain top of the Turkish Super Lig, extending their lead to six points over second-placed Fenerbahce, who are set to play later in the weekend. With the season heading into its final stretch, every point becomes critical in the battle for the title.

With few games remaining, every point matters in what has become one of the most tightly contested Super Lig title races in recent years. Galatasaray’s momentum shows no sign of slowing, and their solid performance against Bodrum only strengthens their bid to secure a much-coveted league championship.
