OSIMHEN IS BACK! Super Eagles striker ends drought as Galatasaray beat Karagumruk – but Sara steals show

Nigerian striker and AFCON 2025 star VICTOR OSIMHEN is officially BACK in business and Turkish football better WATCH OUT.

The Super Eagles hitman finally broke his frustrating goal drought since AFCON 2025, firing Galatasaray to a commanding 3-1 victory over struggling Fatih Karagumruk at the Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı on Friday night.

But let's be honest, Gabriel Sara nearly stole the entire show before Osimhen had even touched the ball.

The Brazilian maestro took just 31 seconds to rip Karagumruk apart, smashing home the fastest goal of the 2025/26 season before most fans had found their seats.

Talk about making a statement! Sara wasn't done there either. The midfielder doubled Galatasaray's advantage six minutes into the second half with a sublime finish from Roland Sallai's pinpoint delivery, leaving Karagumruk chasing shadows

.But all eyes remained on Nigeria's number nine.

Osimhen, who impressed Diego Simeone in the Champions League, had been starving for a goal since returning from Morocco, where he agonisingly missed out on the Golden Boot.

The hunger was visible, the frustration palpable, until the 55th minute changed everything.İlkay Gundoğan, with all his trademark German precision, sliced open the Karagümruk defence with a needle-sharp pass.

What happened next? Pure OSIMHEN.The powerhouse striker muscled his marker aside like a man possessed and thundered a trademark drive past helpless keeper Ivo Grbic. 

The celebration said it ALL, relief, passion, and a warning to the rest of Europe that the Nigerian battering ram is firing again. Karagumruk grabbed a late consolation to briefly make it 2-1, but Osimhen's strike had already sucked the life out of their comeback hopes.

Galatasaray maintain their stranglehold at the Super Lig summit, keeping Fenerbahce at arm's length. Osimhen now has seven league goals this season and looks razor-sharp ahead of those crucial Champions League clashes.

.As for Karagumruk? Seven points from safety and DROWNING fast.
