Daily Trust·

In a thrilling Istanbul derby, Victor Osimhen, the vice-captain of Galatasaray, scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory against Besiktas. The match, part of the Turkish Super Lig, saw Osimhen deliver a powerful low header in the 39th minute, capitalizing on a cross from Leroy Sane.

This goal was significant as it marked Osimhen's 11th league goal of the season and his fourth consecutive match scoring for Galatasaray. The match was intense, with Sane receiving a red card in the 62nd minute, which added to the pressure on both teams.

Osimhen had a close call earlier in the match when he received a yellow card in the sixth minute for a foul on the Besiktas goalkeeper but managed to avoid a second booking. The victory helped Galatasaray extend their lead at the top of the league table.
