In their inaugural match of the 2026/2027 Süper Lig season, Galatasaray found themselves tied at 2-2 after a stalemate against newly promoted Çorum at Rams Park. The Nigerian Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, was instrumental in the encounter, netting two goals for Galatasaray. As reigning champions, Çorum entered the match as heavy favorites, boasting a superior squad.
They controlled the early stages, asserting their dominance in midfield. Osimhen made his mark early on, patiently waiting for his chance outside the box. Despite Abdulkerim Bardakcı's initial effort from a corner kick failing to hit the target, Osimhen eventually found the net in the 15th minute. His subsequent header was narrowly thwarted by the post.
Osimhen continued to be a constant threat, frequently requesting the ball and delivering a shot from the edge of the box in the 25th minute, which goalkeeper saved. The first half concluded without any goals, foreshadowing a tightly contested second half.
