Despite their prowess, it was expected to be a tough game for Galatasaray, as Eyupsor were just four places below them on the league table. However, Osimhen and his teammates made light work of Eyupsor on their home turf.

Osimhen assisted Roland Sallai’s opener in the 29th minute. Then, in the second half, Galatasaray took Eyupsor apart. Lucas Torreira and Osimhen scored within 26 minutes of the restart. Then, the home side pulled one back, courtesy of Luccas Claro. However, Morata, who was a 67th-minute substitute did the remaining damage, as he scored twice in three minute to seal the win for the reigning Turkish champions.

After the game, Morata was asked about his thoughts about Osimhen, and he admitted that he was quite impressed with the 26-year-old Super Eagles star.

“Osimhen is a great person and one of the best centre forwards in the world,” Morata said, per Sports Digitale.

“I hope we will all celebrate the championship together. This is an incredible country, my family is very happy here, I want it to continue like this.”

Following their win against Eyupspor, Galatasaray now have 80 points, five points ahead of second-place Fenerbahce. With five games left to play, they just need to win four to be crowned champions once more.
