Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored the solitary goal for Galatasaray in their 1-0 win over Konyaspor at the Rams Park on Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Osimhen has been in fine form for Galatasaray in recent weeks, scoring two crucial goals in his last two games. Once again, he led the line for the Turkish kings when they welcomed Konyaspor to Rams Park for their 21st Super Lig game of the campaign.
As expected, Galatasaray dominated the game from the blast of the whistle. Osimhen had his first big chance of the game in the 12th minute, when he climbed high to meet a cross in the box. Unfortunately for him, his header was inaccurate and just drifted wide.
The Super Eagles star was a menace to the Konyaspor defenders, and he eventually won a penalty in the 20th minute after forcing a foul from Ismael Jakobs in the box. Osimhen took charge of the responsibility and converted calmly to make it 1-0 to Galatasaray.
The Turkish giants dominated the first half and they took that lead into the break. And in the second half, they continued with that momentum.
Osimhen thought he had scored a second in the 54th minute, but his strike was ruled out for offside. He had another opportunity in the 62nd minute, but his strike was saved by the goalkeeper.
Osimhen played the entire 90 minutes, and he had six goal attempts, but was only able to convert one. It eventually ended 1-0 in Galatasaray’s favour after 90 minutes.
