Osimhen fires blank as Galatasaray goes six points clear of Mourinho in title race

Galatasaray continue to push for the Turkish League title, having defeated Bodrum on Friday night.

The league leaders were looking to extend their lead over Fenerbahçe on the league table and edge closer to the league title.

They did claim an important 2-0 victory over Bodrum, who are looking to avoid relegation and go six points clear of Jose Mourinho's team.

Osimhen, who has been Galatasaray's best player this season, was unable to get his name on the scoresheet.

As it happened 

The Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen made the starting lineup, leading the attack after scoring for Galatasaray in their last match.

The home side started the game well and were rewarded with the opening goal, which was scored by former Arsenal player Lucas Torreira, taking the lead into halftime.

Galatasaray continued where they left off and got the second goal the second half from a corner, which Davison Sanchez headed home.

Osimhen was not at his best on the night, but the home team did the job and held on to the win until the final whistle was blown.

Despite not scoring, the Super Eagles star is still the team's highest goalscorer with 21 goals in 25 league appearances.
