Galatasaray don start dia Super Lig season with 2-2 draw against newly promoted Corum FK for Rams Global Stadyumu for Istanbul. Victor Osimhen na the man wey save the defending champions from opening-day shame.
The Nigerian striker score twice, first for the 53rd minute with header wey make am the first goalscorer of the new campaign. But Corum FK no gree settle. Alexandros Kyziridis and Jesus Ramirez bin score quick goals to turn the match upside down, and the away side even dey lead as e dey go. However, Kyziridis collect red card soon after, and Osimhen come through for Galatasaray for the closing stages to level scores.
This one na the first competitive game for Okan Buruk side this season. Dem bin don face plenty wahala for pre-season, with only one win from five friendlies. Galatasaray bin lose to Monza, Venezia and Villarreal, draw with Rennes, and only beat Umraniyespor. The defence bin dey leak goals, and the attack no too sharp.

For Galatasaray, the point no be the best result, but Osimhen performance go give Buruk something to smile about. The former Napoli striker show say he still get the eye for goal, especially as transfer talk still dey follow am. Reports say Arsenal dey interested for Osimhen, while Galatasaray don bid for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli. But for now, Osimhen still dey wear Galatasaray shirt, and e don start the season with two goals.
Kyziridis red card mean say Corum FK go play next match without the Greek midfielder. But dem go still believe say dem fit survive after this strong start.
