The Nigerian striker’s latest goal moves him to second place on the Süper Lig top scorers’ chart, despite playing fewer matches than his rivals.
Galatasaray found themselves trailing early in the first half after Vilhena T. put the visitors ahead in the 23rd minute.
Their troubles worsened just before halftime when Gunvenci G. received a red card, leaving them with 10 men for the remainder of the match.
