Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has apologized to Galatasaray fans following their disappointing 4-1 defeat at the hands of Samsunspor on Saturday, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u200bThe Cimbom had a chance to wrap up the S\u00fcper Lig title when they locked horns with Samsunspor at the Samsun 19 May\u0131s Stadyumu. Given the way they saw off close rivals Fenerbah\u00e7e in the Istanbul derby<\/a> last week, they were expected to see off mid-table Samsunspor quite easily.<\/p>\n \u200bGalatasaray looked good at the start and eventually scored the opener, courtesy of Yunus Akg\u00fcn off an assist from Osimhen.<\/p>\n \u200bHowever, that was the only goal they could muster. Marius Mouandilmadji netted the equalizer for Samsunspor in the 22nd minute. In the second half, the home side took over completely after Galatasaray’s goalkeeper G\u00fcnay G\u00fcven\u00e7 was sent off.<\/p>\n \u200bMarius added another goal to his name, before Cherif Ndiaye scored a brace to ensure that they embarrassed Galatasaray and delayed their trophy party.<\/p>\n \u200bOsimhen played the entire 90 minutes for the defending S\u00fcper Lig champions. Aside from his assist, it was one of his worst games as a Galatasaray player. <\/p>\n He looked off on the night\u2014his four goal attempts were not on target, he lost the ball 10 times, and he struggled to link up with his teammates. In fact, it was his back-pass that got G\u00fcven\u00e7 sent off and a turnover from him that led to Samsunspor’s second goal.<\/p>\n \u200bAfter the game, Victor Osimhen admitted that it was a disappointing showing from him and his teammates. But he noted that it changes nothing, as Galatasaray are still in firm control of the title race.<\/p>\n \u200bThe 27-year-old striker assured the club’s fans that they will do their best to wrap up the title against Antalyaspor at RAMS Park next week.<\/p>\n![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/thumbor\/9CZrm0oCT8tkal378XYaSaJF9ho=\/4769x3179\/smart\/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.soccernet.ng%2Fmain%2F2026%2F03%2Fimago1074018521.jpg\")
