Barış Alper Yılmaz opened the scoring with a pass from Yunus Akgün, then Victor added to the tally in the 46th minute following another Akgün assist. In the 63rd minute, Álvaro Morata made a great pass to Yunus, who then provided a pass to Osi. Osi chipped the ball over the goalkeeper, securing a brace.
He was, however, substituted early to save him for the match against Kayserispor.
With Victor’s brace, he becomes the highest-scoring foreign player for Galatasaray in a single season with 35 goals, surpassing the previous 24-year-old record held by Mario Jardel, who had scored 34 goals.
A moment from the match showed Victor visibly frustrated that a pass couldn’t be made into the box. However, the player probably spoke to the wingers, Yunus and Barış, in the locker room at halftime, as Yunus went on to provide two assists for him in the second half.
With the Turkish Cup already secured, Galatasaray are set for a domestic double, needing just a point to win the league when they face Kayserispor on Sunday. Note that Victor is the league’s top scorer with 24 goals, despite playing fewer games.
Victor Osimhen made significant contributions to Galatasaray’s Turkish Cup win, scoring 5 goals in the 3 cup matches he started. However, he will especially be remembered for his brace against Fenerbahçe in the quarter-finals, which not only ensured that Galatasaray left with their heads held high after winning the Turkish derby at Fenerbahçe's home (a big bragging right, much like winning El Clásicos), but also sent the team through to the semi-finals.
At 26, Victor Osimhen is now a legend at both Galatasaray and his parent club Napoli, despite things going sour with them.
Congratulations Galatasaray, congratulations
