Victor Osimhen’s goal rescues draw for Galatasaray at Hatayspor

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored Galatasaray’s solitary goal in their hard-fought 1-1 draw against Hatayspor at the Mersin Stadyumu on Friday, Soccernet.ng reports.

Turkish kings Galatasaray returned to Super LIg action with a fixture against relegation fighters Hatayspor. Recall that Galatasaray’s last tie was against Istanbul Basaksehir, and Osimhen nicked an assist in their 2-1 win. This time, against a Hatayspor side that had conceded 31 in 18 league games, The Lions were massive favourites.

However, they were greeted with a rude shock as Cemail Sertel gave Hatayspor the lead after 28 minutes. The goal was against the run of play, as Galatasaray had dominated the proceedings. Osimhen even put the ball in the back of the net two minutes before, but it was ruled out for offside.
