Victor Osimhen scored two goals and provided an assist, leading Galatasaray to a 4-0 victory over Erzurumspor FK in their opening Turkish Super Lig match of the season. Despite dropping points in their previous game, Osimhen's brace proved decisive as the Turkish Super Lig champions returned to winning ways. The former Napoli striker netted once in each half, with his opening goal coming in the 20th minute after dispossessing the goalkeeper from a back pass.
Osimhen sealed the win with a poacher's goal just ten minutes from time. This marks the first time Osimhen has scored twice in three consecutive league matches since joining Galatasaray, and the first time he has scored twice in consecutive matches within a season in Turkey. The goals came in his final league match of last season, and he has scored 45 goals in 54 league matches since arriving at Galatasaray in September 2024.
