The 27-year-old forward, who was the Man of the Match as Galatasaray knocked out Juventus in the Champions League in midweek, set the tone for a controlled performance by the hosts, who dominated possession for large spells and created multiple chances throughout the first half.
As seen on Livescores, Cim-Bom broke the deadlock late in the opening period when Sacha Boey found the back of the net following a perfectly timed pass from Lucas Torreira.
That goal gave the Turkish giants a 1-0 lead heading into the break, rewarding the persistent pressure orchestrated by Osimhen and his teammates.

Alanyaspor responded swiftly after the restart, leveling the match in the 49th minute through striker Steve Mounie, who connected with a cross from the right flank to make it 1-1.
The equaliser briefly shifted momentum, but Galatasaray regained control in no time.
Lucas Torreira showcased his finishing prowess in the 58th minute, converting a one-on-one opportunity to put the hosts back ahead 2-1 for Okan Buruk’s men.
Osimhen’s involvement was pivotal during this period, as his movement off the ball and intelligent link-up play helped stretch Alanyaspor’s defence, creating space for teammates to exploit.
This combination of skill and pace has been a hallmark of the Nigerian forward’s season, confirming his importance to the Galatasaray team.

With the win, Galatasaray strengthened their position at the top of the Turkish Super Lig, moving to 58 points, five clear of title rivals Fenerbahce, who still have a game in hand.
