Osimhen Returns to Assist Galatasaray in 3-1 Win
Victor Osimhen made a successful return from injury, providing an assist as Galatasaray defeated Kasımpaşa 3-1 in a Turkish Süper Lig match at RAMS Park. Osimhen, who had been sidelined due to a groin injury sustained on September 4, came off the bench and played a crucial role in the victory.
Galatasaray initially took the lead in the 45th minute through defender Abdülkerim Bardakcı, who scored from a free-kick delivered by Aleksey Batrakov. The match became challenging for Galatasaray when midfielder Lucas Torreira was sent off in the 65th minute after a VAR review upgraded his yellow card to a red.
Kasımpaşa equalized shortly after through Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. However, Galatasaray regained the lead in the 90th minute with a goal from Barış Alper Yılmaz, followed by Osimhen assisting Mario Lemina's stoppage-time goal, sealing the 3-1 win.
This victory brought Galatasaray to 16 points, placing them at the top of the league table.
