Osimhen secured brace as Galatasaray win their 26th league title

Galatasaray secured their fourth consecutive Turkish league title on Saturday after a 4-2 home win over Antalyaspor.

The Istanbul club are four points ahead of arch-rivals Fenerbahce, who they beat 3-0 last month, with one match remaining.

Led by star striker Nigerian Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray have qualified directly for the Champions League again after making it to the knock-out round this year, notably routing Juventus along the way.

The most successful Turkish club with 26 titles had previously won four consecutive league titles in the late 1990s.

Without a title for twelve years, the longest drought in their history.

The Nigerian striker equalised in the 66th minute before scoring again shortly after, completing a brilliant brace that turned the match on its head and pushed Galatasaray ahead for the first time.

Deep into stoppage time, Kaan Ayhan added the finishing touch in the 95th minute, sealing the victory and confirming the title in emphatic fashion.
