Victor Osimhen set up an early goal but could not prevent Galatasaray from crashing to a 4-1 defeat against Samsunspor on Saturday night in Turkey. The Nigerian forward delivered the assist for Yunus Akgün's opener in the ninth minute, but the hosts fell apart afterwards as Samsunspor scored three unanswered goals to seal a commanding victory.
Osimhen has been a bright spot for Galatasaray this season despite the team's struggles in this match. The 25-year-old has now recorded 20 goals and eight assists across all competitions for the Yellow and Reds, demonstrating his quality even as his side failed to keep pace with Samsunspor's attacking display.
The loss marks another difficult outing for Galatasaray, who came into the game hoping to challenge their opponents but instead found themselves outclassed. Samsunspor's clinical finishing in the second half proved to be the difference as they moved away from their struggling neighbours on the league table.
Osimhen will look to bounce back when Galatasaray return to action in their next fixture, hoping to add more goals and assists to his impressive tally for the campaign.
