Osimhen finds the net again as Galatasaray secure victory over Rizespor

Victor Osimhen was once again on the scoresheet for Turkish giants Galatasaray S.K. as they defeated Çaykur Rizespor 3-0 on Matchday 21 of the Süper Lig.

​The match, played on Sunday at the Caykur Didi Stadium in Rize, saw the visitors take charge from the opening whistle. It took only 19 minutes for Barış Yılmaz to break the deadlock, giving Cimbom a 1-0 lead heading into the break.

​Okan Buruk’s side did not pull any punches in the second half. What initially looked like a balanced contest changed in the 62nd minute when Yunus Akgün extended the lead.

Osimhen then sealed the victory for Galatasaray in the 72nd minute with a clinical finish from close range, putting the game well beyond the reach of the hosts.
