Galatasaray’s title hopes were dashed by a surprising 4-1 defeat to Samsunspor on May 2, 2026, in Samsun, Turkey. This loss leaves the Turkish Super Lig championship race open.
Galatasaray currently has 74 points, four points ahead of Fenerbahçe, with two games remaining in the season. They need to win one of those matches to secure the championship.
Victor Osimhen provided an assist during the match but did not score. His teammate, goalkeeper Günay Güvenç, received a red card, further complicating their situation.
Paul Onuachu of Trabzonspor has not scored in four consecutive matches but remains the league’s top scorer with 22 goals in 27 appearances. Trabzonspor is currently third in the league with 66 points.
Key quotes from Victor Osimhen:
“We didn’t play well either. We will win our next match at home and officially secure the championship. We apologise to the fans. We will look ahead.” and “We knew it wouldn’t be that easy to win the title here.”.
Galatasaray will face Antalyaspor next weekend. A victory is crucial for them to clinch the title.
