Osimhen scores first-season goal as Galatasaray thrash Kayserispor 4-0

Victor Osimhen scored his first goal of the 2025/26 season to cap Galatasaray’s 4-0 win over Kayserispor on Sunday, August 24, 2025.

The Super Eagles striker, making his first start of the campaign, struck late in the second half to seal a dominant performance for Okan Buruk’s side, who extended their perfect start to the season with three straight wins.

Osimhen had featured briefly in Galatasaray’s season opener without scoring, but this time repaid his manager’s faith by making his mark in front of goal.

The victory also carried historical weight: Galatasaray have opened a league season with three wins and no goals conceded for the first time since 2007/08, a season in which Buruk himself was part of the squad as a player, before they went on to lift the Turkish championship.
