Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen was on target as Galatasaray secured a 2-0 away win over Samsunspor in the Turkish Super League on Friday.
The Nigerian forward scored early in the second half to seal the win for the league leaders, who are now six points clear of closest challengers Fenerbahçe, who play on Sunday.
Galatasaray started strongly and took the lead in the 14th minute through Yunus Akgün. The winger finished calmly to give the visitors the advantage.
The first half ended with just the one goal, but Galatasaray maintained control after the break.
Just two minutes into the second half, Osimhen doubled the lead. He latched onto a well-timed through pass from Akgün and slotted past the goalkeeper.
