6:52pm, 15 May 2025【Football】

In the Turkish Cup final held in the early morning of May 15, Galatasaray defeated Trabzon Sports 3-0 and successfully won the championship trophy.

Nigerian striker Victor Osmain became the biggest contributor to this game. He scored twice, breaking the opponent's goal in the 46th and 63rd minutes respectively. Just 5 minutes into the game, Ilmaz scored the first record for Galatasaray, laying the foundation for victory for the home team.

Although Galatasaray did not fully gain an advantage in the field throughout the game, he continued to put pressure on Trabzon Sports' defense with his luxurious frontcourt lineup. Spanish striker Alvaro Morata sat on the bench in this game and made a substitute in the 62nd minute, when the score had reached 2-0. Although Morata performed well in a limited time, he failed to score. His condition this season is relatively average, representing that the team only scored 4 goals in the Turkish Premier League 9 times and was plagued by injuries many times.

This championship win further consolidates Galatasaray's dominance in the domestic arena. They are currently leading Fenerbahce in the league standings by 8 points, with the last three rounds left before the end of the season. If they beat Kayseli Sports this weekend, they will secure the league title two rounds ahead of schedule.

Osmaine is undoubtedly the most dazzling star in this successful journey. Since joining Naples on loan, the striker has scored 24 goals in 27 Turkish Premier League games, and has also contributed 6 goals in the UEFA Cup, showing an extremely high competitive state.
