Victor Osimhen continued his impressive start to the 2026/27 season with a brace and an assist as Galatasaray cruised to a commanding 4-0 victory over Erzurumspor on Friday night.
The Super Eagles striker delivered another influential performance, playing a direct role in three of Galatasaray’s four goals to help the Turkish champions secure a comfortable win.
Roland Sallai opened the scoring before Osimhen turned provider in the 20th minute.
The Nigerian striker showed good awareness inside the box before laying the ball off for Yunus Akgün, who calmly finished into the bottom corner.
Osimhen then got his name on the scoresheet shortly before half-time.
The 27-year-old capitalised on a defensive error by Matija Ornjak before keeping his composure to slot the ball beyond the goalkeeper and give Galatasaray a 2-0 advantage.
The former Napoli forward completed his brace in the 80th minute with another emphatic finish.
Osimhen received a pass from Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara before unleashing a powerful effort into the roof of the net, putting the result beyond doubt and underlining his clinical form in front of goal.
The brace takes Osimhen’s tally to four goals in his first two Turkish Super Lig appearances this season.
He had opened the campaign with two goals in Galatasaray’s 2-2 draw against Çorum, making it back-to-back matches in which he has found the net twice.
Osimhen’s latest display also means he has already contributed five goals in his first two league matches, including his assist for Akgün against Erzurumspor.
The Nigeria international will now look to maintain his prolific form as Galatasaray continue their bid for another Turkish Super Lig title.
