Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has rallied his teammates to maintain their focus as they pursue a third Turkish Super Lig championship.
Alanyaspor suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat against Okan Buruk’s team on Sunday night, strengthening the latter’s pursuit of the title.
Osimhen scored the decisive goal for the Yellow and Reds with a superb header two minutes after the hour mark.
The win put Galatasaray seven points ahead of Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce, who still have an outstanding game.
“First of all, I would like to congratulate the team and thank our fans. I think we would not have had the energy to get these three points without them,” Osimhen told the club’s official website.
“We were not very good in the first half but we were able to improve ourselves in the second half. We knew that every match until the end of the season would be very difficult and that it would be the final. We will try to maintain our momentum . ”

The forward also spoke about the motivation in the dressing room.
“Everyone talked in the dressing room. I think we are very good at this. Our captain, Sanchez, Günay and all of us talk. We motivate each other,” he added.
“I think this is one of the things that gave us the energy we needed in the second half. We knew we would get the three points. We focused on that. We show all our respect to our opponent, but we believe we got a well-deserved victory. ”
