Galatasaray suffered a 4-1 defeat to Samsunspor on May 2, 2026. This loss raises questions about Victor Osimhen’s future with the club. Osimhen played the full match but struggled to make an impact.
In the match, Osimhen provided an assist for Galatasaray’s only goal. However, he failed to register any shots on target despite making four attempts. The team was expected to win after their recent victory over Fenerbahçe.
Galatasaray’s goalkeeper received a red card during the match, which further hampered their performance. Cherif Ndiaye scored two goals for Samsunspor, leading his team to a decisive victory.
The defeat delayed Galatasaray’s plans for a trophy celebration. They still control the title race but must secure a win against Antalyaspor next week to clinch the Süper Lig title.
Key statistics from the match:
- Samsunspor scored 4 goals.
- Galatasaray managed only 1 goal.
- Osimhen played 90 minutes without any shots on target.
After the match, Osimhen apologized to fans for the team’s poor performance. He stated, “We also apologize to the fans. They didn’t leave us alone; they were by our side.” He expressed confidence in winning their upcoming home game against Antalyaspor, saying, “We will win our home game and declare our championship.”
Osimhen is considered one of the best strikers in the world. Yet, his recent form has led to scrutiny regarding his position at Galatasaray.
