Osimhen shines with hat-trick as Galatasaray crush Antalyaspor 4-0

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen delivered a stunning hat-trick as Galatasaray cruised to a dominant 4-0 victory over Antalyaspor in a fiery Turkish league clash on Friday night.

Osimhen was simply unstoppable, proving once again why he remains one of Europe’s most lethal forwards. The match came to life in the 30th minute when Alvaro Morata selflessly set up the Super Eagles star for an easy tap-in, giving Galatasaray the breakthrough they had been searching for.

Just before halftime, the home side doubled their lead after VAR awarded a penalty for a handball by Ramzi Safuri. Morata calmly converted from the spot, piling more misery on Antalyaspor.

Moments later, Osimhen struck again in first-half stoppage time. Baris Alper Yilmaz whipped in a precise pass, and the Nigerian forward wasted no time slotting home his second goal of the night to make it 3-0 at the break.

Osimhen completed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute with a clinical finish off a well-timed assist from Yunus Akgun, sealing an emphatic victory for Galatasaray.

The visitors struggled to respond, and Galatasaray continued to dominate, with Gabriel Sara nearly adding a spectacular fifth from a free-kick in the 67th minute. Morata also came close late in the game, but Antalyaspor goalkeeper Kenan Piric denied him with a brilliant save.

At full-time, all the headlines belonged to Osimhen, whose ruthless performance sent a strong message to the rest of the league.
