Football: Osimhen Scores Brace, Sets New Galatasaray Goal Record

Nigerian striker leads Galatasaray to Turkish Cup glory with record-breaking performance.

Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has broken the record for most goals scored by a foreign player in the Turkish League in a single season

Osimhen scored twice as his team Galatasaray defeated Trabzonspor 3-0 help to lift the Turkish Cup

The Nigerian striker entered the final with 33 goals and needed two more to surpass the 34-goal mark set by Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 season.

He did just that, netting in the 46th and 63rd minutes to reach 35 goals in all competitions and lead Galatasaray to their 19th Turkish Cup title, a national record.

Only seven foreign players have scored more goals for Galatasaray, with Romania’s Gheorghe Hagi still leading the chart with 72.

Galatasaray can complete the domestic double with a win over Kayserispor on Sunday, which would secure their 25th league title.
