Osimhen Fires Galatasaray to Record 26th Turkish Super Lig Title in 4–2 Thriller

• Galatasaray have been crowned Turkish Super Lig champions for a record 26th time after a dramatic 4–2 comeback victory over Antalyaspor.

Galatasaray secured their 26th Turkish Super Lig title on Saturday after a thrilling 4–2 victory over Antalyaspor at RAMS Park in Istanbul.

The win, achieved in front of their home fans, sealed a record-extending league triumph for the club, nicknamed the Lions, after a tense second-half performance that saw them recover from a temporary setback.

Galatasaray entered the match needing at least a positive result to confirm the championship but were briefly stunned when Antalyaspor’s Soner Dikmen struck just before halftime to level the contest after early pressure from the hosts.

The visitors’ equaliser cancelled out Galatasaray’s advantage and sent the game into the break at 1–1, raising tension inside a stadium that had already been prepared for celebrations.

The champions, however, regained control in the second half. Mario Lemina restored the lead for Galatasaray in the 56th minute after coming on as a substitute, lifting hopes of a title celebration.

Victor Osimhen then stepped up for Galatasaray, converting a penalty in the 66th minute to restore their lead before sealing the victory with a second goal in the 88th minute.

The Nigerian striker, on loan from Napoli, delivered a standout performance in one of the club’s most important matches of the season, further cementing his impact in Turkish football.

Galatasaray’s 4–2 win ensured they finished the season as champions, extending their dominance in Turkish football with a historic 26th league title.
