Victor Osimhen just can’t stop scoring—and this time, his goal helped Galatasaray lock in the league title.
The Nigerian striker was on the scoresheet Sunday as Galatasaray thrashed Kayserispor 3-0 to clinch the Turkish Super Lig.
It came just five days after they lifted the Turkish Cup, completing a massive domestic double.
Osimhen’s goal came in the 26th minute after he powered home a header from Gabriel Sara’s cross.
The goal was made even sweeter when his young daughter, Hailey, proudly announced her dad’s name as the scorer.
Three minutes later, Baris Alper Yilmaz made it 2-0, and the party was on in Istanbul.
Then came a heartwarming moment—Osimhen passed up his penalty duties for Fernando Muslera.
The 38-year-old Galatasaray captain, likely leaving after 14 seasons, stepped up and scored the third goal.
Galatasaray now sits on 89 points, eight clear of second-placed Fenerbahce, with two games to spare.
This title marks the club’s 25th Super Lig trophy—adding to their Cup win over Trabzonspor just days earlier.
Osimhen, on loan from Napoli, scored twice in that Cup final and now has 25 league goals this season.
With those numbers, he shattered a 24-year-old record set by Brazilian star Mario Jardel.
The Super Eagles forward is now the most prolific foreign scorer in a single Turkish season.
On the other side, things aren’t looking good for Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho.
Local reports suggest missing out on silverware could see him leave a year before his contract ends.
His side hasn’t lifted the title in over a decade and failed to win any of their Istanbul derbies.
Mourinho’s frustration was visible last month when he grabbed Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk after a Cup loss.
Now, with Galatasaray flying high and Osimhen in record-breaking form, the Lions are the undisputed kings of Turkish football.
