This match marked Osimhen's first start since recovering from injury, and he wasted no time making an impact, converting a penalty just three minutes into the game to give his team an early lead.

Despite an equaliser from Kayserispor's Stephane Bahoken shortly after, Galatasaray regained control with goals from Barıs Alper Yılmaz and Yunus Akgun before Osimhen added his second in the 71st minute, with his exceptional finishing ability on display.
