Prolific Osimhen scores back-to-back braces

Victor Osimhen continued his impressive start to the new Süper Lig season by scoring twice and providing an assist as defending champions Galatasaray defeated newly promoted Erzurumspor FK 4-0 in their second-week match at Kazım Karabekir Stadium on Friday. The Nigerian striker's goal involvement solidified his status as one of Africa's most consistent forwards.

Roland Sallai gave Galatasaray the lead in the twelfth minute, followed by Osimhen setting up Yunus Akgün to score the second goal eight minutes later. The Super Eagles striker then netted in first-half stoppage time to put the visitors three goals ahead at halftime, before adding another goal in the 80th minute to complete his brace and seal the victory.

With this performance, Osimhen has directly contributed to at least one goal in each of his last fourteen league matches for Galatasaray, scoring sixteen goals and providing six assists in the process. This impressive run has placed him at the top of the match statistics, highlighting his remarkable form as both a goalscorer and a playmaker for his team.
