Osimhen, Mertens shine as Galatasaray destroy Konyaspor to reach cup final

Galatasaray are through to the final of the Turkish Cup after destroying Konyaspor 5-1 in the semi-final.

The Cim-Bom beat Fenerbahce in the quarters, boosting their chance to lift the cup. They made light work of Konyaspor, thanks to excellent performances from their two superstars, Victor Osimhen and Dries Mertens.

Galatasaray piled on early pressure, but had to wait until the 26th minute for the opener. Osimhen got the ball rolling, sending a forceful header past Deniz Ertas to give his side the lead. 

The Cim-Bom kept the pressure on, and through Lucas Torreira, they doubled the lead before half time. Osimhen set up Sallai upon resumption to put Galatasaray 3-0 and one foot in the final. 

Pedrinho pulled one back for Konyaspor before the hour mark, but Galatasaray scored two more, with Mertens assisting Sallai and Yusuf Demir to win 5-1.
