But Osimhen’s influence didn’t stop there. Just after the hour mark, the Nigerian forward set up Galatasaray’s third goal with a precise assist, battering home the visitors’ advantage and exposing Kayserispor’s weary defence. 

With the result all but sealed, Gabriel Sara added another before veteran Mauro Icardi wrapped up the scoring in stoppage time, completing a flawless evening for the Istanbul side. 

The win extends Galatasaray’s lead at the top of the league standings, six points clear of second‑placed Fenerbahçe with 49 points from 20 matches, further cementing their title credentials.

For Osimhen, this performance underlines his importance to Galatasaray’s campaign, not only hitting the net himself but also creating opportunities for teammates and leading the attack with authority.
