Galatasaray captain Fernando Muslera made headlines after the team’s 2-1 victory over Çaykur Rizespor by donning Victor Osimhen’s signature protective mask during the post-match celebrations. The Uruguayan goalkeeper’s gesture symbolized unity and support for Osimhen, who has been wearing the mask since suffering a facial injury during his time at Napoli.
Speaking after the game, Osimhen praised Muslera’s leadership, stating, “Muslera is a great person, more than just a captain. He had a significant role in our victory.”
Galatasaray Secure 2-1 Win Against Rizespor
In a crucial match in the Turkish Süper Lig, Galatasaray extended their lead at the top of the table with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Rizespor. Osimhen was the star of the night, scoring both goals for Galatasaray. The Nigerian striker opened the scoring in the 47th minute before Ali Sowe equalized for Rizespor in the 53rd minute. However, Osimhen struck again in the 86th minute to seal the win.
Galatasaray Lead the Title Race Ahead of Derby
This victory increases Galatasaray’s lead at the top of the table to six points over their closest rivals, Fenerbahçe. Osimhen’s impressive form has been vital for the team this season, with 19 goals and 5 assists in 24 appearances. His contributions have been particularly crucial in the absence of Álvaro Morata, who is currently sidelined with a grade 2 muscle strain. Morata remains uncertain for next week’s highly anticipated derby against Fenerbahçe but has expressed a strong desire to return in time.
Galatasaray now turn their focus to their upcoming clash against Fenerbahçe, a match that could have major implications for the title race.
