… S’Eagles Scores Brace, but Gala  Stumble  in Super Lig Opener

​Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen scored a brace for Galatasaray as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Çorum in their opening match of the Süper Lig season.

​Süper Lig champions, Galatasaray kicked off their 2026/2027 campaign with a fixture against newly promoted Çorum at Rams Park. Going into the match, Cimbom were the overwhelming favorites due to their status as reigning champions and superior squad quality.

​As expected, they dominated the early proceedings, bossing the midfield. Osimhen made his presence felt early on, lurking inside the box and waiting for opportunities to pounce.

​Abdulkerim Bardakcı had the first real opportunity of the game, connecting with a corner kick cross, but he failed to direct his header on target.

​Osimhen earned his first genuine chance in the 15th minute, outjumping his marker to power a header toward goal. However, his effort drifted just a whisker wide.

​The top Nigerian marksman looked sharp all night, constantly calling for the ball. Although he lacked adequate service and had to work hard for scraps, he managed a shot from the edge of the box in the 25th minute, which was comfortably saved by the goalkeeper.

​Ultimately, the first half ended goalless, setting the stage for a dramatic second half.
