Osimhen Shines With Brace In Galatasaray Win

Victor Osimhen delivered a match-winning performance as Galatasaray edged past Rizespor with a 2-1 victory at the Çaykur Didi Stadium on Monday night.

Rizespor responded quickly, with Gambian forward Ali Sowe leveling the score just seven minutes later. The game seemed destined for a draw until Osimhen stepped up once again, sealing the win with a decisive goal in the 86th minute.
