Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen secured a 1-0 victory over Liverpool in a dramatic European match in Istanbul by scoring the decisive goal from a first-half penalty kick.

The Nigerian striker kept his composure in the 16th minute, sending Alisson the wrong way from the spot after Galatasaray were awarded a penalty.

The early strike proved enough as the Turkish side defended resolutely against Liverpool’s heavy pressure.

Despite enjoying most of the possession, Arne Slot’s Liverpool lacked sharpness in front of goal, squandering chances and struggling to break through Galatasaray’s disciplined backline.

The defeat marks Liverpool’s second consecutive loss in Europe, raising questions about their form, while Galatasaray celebrated a famous win that boosts their standing in the group and highlights Osimhen’s reputation as a big-game striker.
