Osimhen sparkles in 6-goal derby thriller

Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen on Sunday netted his 16th goal in the Turkish Super Lig for Galatasaray as they played a thrilling 3-3 draw with Istanbul rivals Kasimpasa.

The lanky Nigerian star opened scoring from the penalty spot in the 12th minute being fouled by the Kasimpasa goalkeeper on his way to scoring.

Osimhen fired his brace in the 71st minute when he allowed a long ball by the Galatasaray goalkeeper to beat his marker and he coolly slotted past the onrushing Kasimpasa shot stopper.

It was also 3-3 when both teams clashed in the reverse tie last year.

Galatasaray are top of the table with 65 points from 25 matches.

But closest rivals Fenerbache can cut the gap at the top with a win over Antalyaspor later today.
