The match was largely controlled by Galatasaray, who took the lead in the 10th minute through Barış Alper Yılmaz. The task for Fatih Karagümrük became even more challenging when they were reduced to 10 men early in the first half. Despite the disadvantage, the visitors held their ground until an own goal in the 74th minute and a late strike from Mauro Icardi sealed the win for the home side.
Osimhen, who recently completed a record-breaking permanent transfer from Napoli, made his first appearance of the season by replacing Mario Lemina in the 61st minute. His introduction brought an immediate impact, with the Super Eagles striker showcasing his clinical threat by putting the ball in the back of the net, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.
This match marks the beginning of a new chapter for Osimhen, who returns to the club after a sensational loan spell last season where he led Galatasaray to the league title. With his presence now a permanent fixture, Osimhen's return is a major boost for the club as they look to defend their championship and compete in Europe.
