Osimhen scores twice in Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce derby

In the Super Lig derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, the opening goal came from Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker of the yellow-red side found the net in the 29th minute to put his team 1-0 ahead.

Receiving a pass from Baris Alper Yilmaz, the 27-year-old forward entered the penalty area, gave the defence no time to react, and sent his shot into the net. Osimhen's goal was the development that decided the score in the first half of the derby.

In the 44th minute, Osimhen rose inside the penalty area to meet a powerful long-range shot from Davinson Sanchez, directing the ball into the corner of the net. After a VAR review, referee Atilla Karaoglan pointed to the centre spot. Osimhen also struck the post with a shot in the first half's added time.

Osimhen had scored in consecutive matches in the first four games of the season and had 7 goals. After missing 2 matches with an injury during the international break, the striker failed to score in the games against Kasimpasa and Genclerbirligi. His goals returned in the Fenerbahce derby.

In 9 matches this season, Osimhen has scored 9 goals and provided 3 assists. Most recently, he also celebrated a goal in the UEFA Champions League, when Galatasaray beat Lille 4-2 away.
