Galatasaray won against Antalyaspor. Dries Mertens delivered an assist, and Victor Osimhen scored a splendid goal!
Bad evening for Michy Batshuayi: his two competitors for the position of top striker at Galatasaray shone. First, Mauro Icardi, who started the match on the Antalyaspor pitch. The Argentine striker scored twice (10th, 52nd), and was also able to count on an assist from Dries Mertens on his first goal.
Icardi then came off in the 78th minute for Batshuayi; at the same time, Victor Osimhen also rode for Yunus Akgün. And it was the Nigerian who stood out, scoring the 0-3 with a superb bicycle kick in the 90th +2.
Osimhen scored his third goal since his surprise signing for Galatasaray at the very end of the transfer window, after a summer of rumors sending him from Napoli to Chelsea or PSG. The striker, estimated at more than 100 million euros, came to compete with Michy Batshuayi, who also arrived this summer at the Gala.
Since his arrival, the Red Devil has not started once, playing his 4th consecutive match on the bench in the league this Saturday.
