Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen scored his fifth goal of the season before being forced off with an injury as Galatasaray edged Istanbul Basaksehir 3-2 on Friday.
Osimhen opened the scoring in the 16th minute, finishing a well-worked attacking move to give the Turkish champions the lead.
However, the Nigerian forward was unable to continue after picking up an injury and was substituted in the 33rd minute, with Barış Alper Yılmaz replacing him.
Basaksehir drew level in the 66th minute when Eldor Shomurodov converted a penalty, but Galatasaray restored their lead five minutes later through Lucas Torreira.
The hosts equalised again when Davinson Sánchez turned the ball into his own net, setting up a tense finish.
With the game heading for a draw, Gabriel Sara struck in the 90th minute, curling a superb free-kick into the net to secure all three points for Galatasaray.
The victory maintains Galatasaray’s strong start to the season, while the club will now await further assessment of Osimhen’s injury.
