Galatasaray-victor osimhen-45.webp
The Digest:

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen returned to action for Galatasaray after over a month on the sidelines, but his comeback was ruined as the Turkish giants suffered a shocking 2-0 loss to Genclerbirligi in the Turkish Cup quarter-final. Osimhen was introduced in the 78th minute, but the visitors had already taken the lead and added a second five minutes after his arrival. The defeat knocks Galatasaray out of the competition they won last season.

Key Points;
  • Galatasaray dominated the first half but failed to score.
  • Genclerbirligi took the lead six minutes after the restart.
  • Osimhen was brought on in the 78th minute to spark a comeback.
  • Adama Traore scored Genclerbirligi's second five minutes later.
  • Osimhen is expected to start Sunday's derby against Fenerbahce.
The result ends Galatasaray's Turkish Cup defence, but Osimhen should be fully fit for the crucial derby.
