The Nigerian international scored in the 26th minute to mark his 25th goal in 29 league appearances this season as he strengthens his lead in the race for the Turkish Super Lig Golden Boot.

According to Opta, Osimhen is now the third foreign football player in Galatasaray’s history to score 25 goals in a Super Lig season, after the likes of Bafetimbi Gomis in the 2017-18 campaign and Mauro Icardi in the 2023-24 season.

The Super Eagles striker is currently the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig this season with 25 goals to his name.

The Napoli loanee has four goals ahead of Krzysztof Piątek, who sits second with 21 goals.

The 26-year-old has netted 36 goals and provided eight assists in 40 appearances for Galatasaray so far this season.

Meanwhile, the victory against Kayserispor secured the league title for Galatasaray in front of their home fans.

Galatasaray have eight points lead on top of the Turkish Super Lig table.

They are ahead of second position Fenerbahçe with just two games remaining to complete the season.

Galatasaray have 89 points, while Fenerbahçe have 81 points.
