Victor Osimhen Breaks Turkish League Goal Record with 35th Strike
Victor Osimhen has made history in Turkish football. The Nigerian striker shattered the league’s long-standing single-season goal record, netting his 35th goal to surpass the previous mark of 34 goals held by Tanju Çolak since the 1987/88 season.
Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray in a high-profile move, has been nothing short of electric this season. His blend of pace, power, and lethal finishing has terrorized defenses and reignited Galatasaray’s title charge.
The record-breaking goal came in a dramatic 2-1 win, where Osimhen coolly converted a second-half penalty, sending the home crowd into a frenzy. More than just a number, this milestone cements Osimhen’s legacy in Turkish football history.
With a few games still left in the season, the 25-year-old has the chance to extend his record—and his legend.
