Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen made an immediate impact on the opening day of the new Süper Lig season, scoring twice as defending champions Galatasaray were held to a 2-2 draw by newly promoted Çorum at RAMS Park.
Galatasaray entered the 2026/27 campaign as overwhelming favourites, having won the Turkish title last season and boasting a squad considerably stronger than their newly promoted opponents.
The hosts dominated the early stages and controlled possession in midfield, while Osimhen immediately positioned himself inside the box, waiting for opportunities to make his mark.
Abdülkerim Bardakcı had the first clear opportunity of the contest when he connected with a corner, but the defender could not keep his header on target.
Osimhen came close in the 15th minute after rising above his marker to meet a cross with a powerful header, only for his effort to drift narrowly wide.
