Super Lig: Victor Osihmen Scores in League Opener against Kayserispor

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored his first goal of the season as Galatasaray cruised to a 4-0 victory over Kayserispor at the Kadir Has Stadium on Sunday night.

Osimhen, who sealed a permanent move to the Yellow-Reds this summer after a record-breaking loan spell, made his first start of the campaign and found the back of the net in the 86th minute.

The Nigerian forward calmly tapped in a delivery from Nicolò Zaniolo to register Galatasaray’s third goal of the evening.

Meanwhile, Turkish fullback Evren Eren Elmalı had earlier opened the scoring in the 36th minute before doubling the advantage shortly after the restart.

The rout was completed in stoppage time when Leroy Sane added a fourth, sealing a 4-0 demolition.

The 26-year-old striker enjoyed a sensational loan spell at Galatasaray last season, netting 37 goals and providing eight assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.

The emphatic win, fueled by Osimhen’s relentless attacking prowess and contributions from Eren Elmali, Nicolo Zaniolo, and Leroy Sane, solidified Galatasaray’s early dominance in their title defense campaign.

His remarkable contributions powered the Istanbul giants to a domestic double, lifting both the Süper Lig and Turkish Cup titles.

Now with a permanent deal secured, Osimhen will look to replicate his prolific form and help Galatasaray on the quest for a third consecutive tittle.
