Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, was on target as Galatasaray recorded a commanding 4-0 away victory over Konyaspor in the Turkish S\u00fcper Lig on Friday.\n<\/p>\n

Osimhen opened the scoring in the 12th minute, heading home a cross from Gabriel Sara to give the visitors an early advantage at the Konya Metropolitan Municipality Stadium.\n<\/p>\n

Yunus Akg\u00fcn doubled Galatasaray\u2019s lead in the 28th minute with a powerful effort before Sara added the third in the 31st minute.\n<\/p>\n

Aleksey Batrakov increased the advantage in the 49th minute, while Rafael Le\u00e3o converted a penalty in the 55th minute to complete the 4-0 victory.<\/p>\n

The result extended Galatasaray\u2019s winning run following their 2-1 victory over city rivals Fenerbah\u00e7e in Monday\u2019s Istanbul derby, in which Osimhen scored twice.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian striker, who had eight league goals before Friday\u2019s encounter, took his tally to nine in the competition this season.\n<\/p>\n

The victory further strengthened Galatasaray\u2019s position at the top of the league table, having entered the match with 22 points from nine matches.<\/p>\n

PUNCH Online reported that Osimhen was also instrumental in Galatasaray\u2019s 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Fenerbah\u00e7e in the Istanbul derby on Monday, October 26, scoring both goals to secure the bragging rights for the Turkish champions.\n<\/p>\n

The Nigerian international opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a powerful finish after combining with Bar\u0131\u015f Alper Y\u0131lmaz before doubling the lead in the 44th minute with a header off a rebound from Davinson S\u00e1nchez\u2019s effort.\n<\/p>\n

His brace proved decisive as Galatasaray held on for the victory despite \u0130rfan Can Kahveci pulling one back for Fenerbah\u00e7e in the 62nd minute.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
