Osimhen scores twice in derby as Galatasaray lead Fenerbahce 2-0

In Week 9 of the Trendyol Super Lig, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce met at RAMS Park. The yellow-and-red side went into the dressing room 2-0 up in the first half, with both goals scored by Victor Osimhen.

Galatasaray's opening goal came in the 29th minute. Receiving a pass from Baris Alper Yilmaz inside the penalty area, Osimhen struck before the opposing defence could react, and the ball found the far corner. Late in the first half, in the 44th minute, Davinson Sanchez unleashed a powerful shot from outside the box, and Osimhen redirected it with a header. The goal stood after a Video Assistant Referee review.

The Nigerian striker came close to a hat-trick in added time. His effort struck the post, and Galatasaray were unable to extend their lead before the first half ended.

Osimhen has started the 2026-2027 season strongly. He scored in consecutive matches across the first four games of the season and reached 7 goals in that period. The 27-year-old missed two matches due to an injury sustained after international duty and did not find the net in the games against Kasimpasa and Genclerbirligi. With his two goals in the derby, he has nine goals and three assists in nine matches across all competitions.

Osimhen also celebrated a goal in the UEFA Champions League before the derby. The striker found the net in Galatasaray's 4-2 away win over Lille, contributing to the European victory.
