ISTANBUL, Türkiye — Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen was on target as Galatasaray clinched their 25th Turkish Super Lig title on Sunday, May 18, 2025, securing a dominant 3–0 victory over Kayserispor at a jubilant RAMS Park.
The win marked Galatasaray’s third consecutive league triumph and capped off a domestic double, having already lifted the Turkish Cup earlier in the week.
Osimhen, who has become a fan favourite since joining the Istanbul club, opened the scoring in the 26th minute, rising above the defence to power in a header from Gabriel Sera’s cross.
The goal set the tone for the evening and ignited celebrations across the stadium.
Just three minutes later, Baris Yilmaz doubled the lead with a clinical finish, putting Galatasaray firmly in control before the break.
In a symbolic gesture that capped the historic night, veteran goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, who is set to leave the club after 14 seasons, was handed penalty duties in the 89th minute.
The 37-year-old Uruguayan converted with calm assurance, bringing the curtain down on his time in Istanbul with a rare goal.
The victory moved Galatasaray to an unassailable 89 points, placing them eight points clear of their city rivals Fenerbahçe, managed by José Mourinho, with one round of matches remaining.
Osimhen’s influence has been pivotal in Galatasaray’s campaign.
His brace in the Turkish Cup final earlier in the week secured that title, and his performance on Sunday ensured the league crown stayed on the European side of Istanbul.
For Galatasaray, the win reaffirms their dominance in Turkish football, extending their record as the most successful club in the league’s history.
For Osimhen, it marks another milestone in a career that continues to flourish on the continental stage.
