A 2-0 away victory over Trabzonspor in the Turkish League brought Osimhen and Galatasaray closer to a domestic double.
Nigerian international Victor Osimhen played a key role as Galatasaray advanced their bid for a Turkish domestic double, securing a 2-0 away victory against Trabzonspor on Saturday.
With three games to go, Galatasaray will retain their league title if they beat Kayserispur at home next weekend.
Galatasaray’s pursuit of a domestic double continues this Wednesday when they face today’s opponent, Trabzonspor, in the final of the Turkish Cup, offering them another chance at silverware.
Winning both that game and next Sunday’s match would secure two trophies in one week for the Nigerian loanee and his club.
An eight-point lead gives Galatasaray the power to lock up the league title next weekend; a win against their opponents would leave Fenerbahce with no chance.
Osimhen, though not on the scoresheet, was a handful for Trabzonspor throughout today’s 2-0 victory.
Morata and Bardacki’s goals brought Galatasaray to the cusp of league glory.
Their next challenge is against Kayserispor, whom they previously defeated 4-1 with a brace from Osimhen.
This league title would represent a significant personal triumph for Osimhen, who was given a lifeline by Galatasaray’s loan move after a trying period with Napoli.
