Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen’s devastating form reached new heights on Friday as he fired home a magnificent brace to guide Galatasaray to a comprehensive 4-0 away win against Erzurumspor F.K in the Turkish League

The former Africa Footballer of the Year scored in both halves and registered a brilliant assist, single-handedly turning the match into a personal masterclass.

League Champions, Galatasaray weathered an intense start from Erzurumspor before seizing total control. In the 20th minute, Osimhen turned creator, showing immense awareness to break into space and slot a perfectly weighted assist to Yunus Akgün, who easily doubled the visitors’ lead following Roland Sallai’s opener.

Right before the stroke of halftime, the 27-year-old striker punished a defensive horror show. Capitalizing on a short back-pass, Osimhen forced a mistake out of goalkeeper Matija Orbanić and rolled the ball into an empty net to make it 3-0.

He capped off his sensational evening in the 79th minute, showcasing his classic poacher instincts by stabbing home a cross to secure his brace and the definitive 4-0 victory.

With this masterful display, Osimhen has remarkably opened his Süper Lig campaign with two consecutive braces, following his opening-day double against Çorum FK. He sits comfortably at the top of the early Golden Boot standings, boasting a frightening tally of four goals and an assist across just two appearances.
