Galatasaray produced a sensational second-half performance to defeat Ajax 3–0 in Amsterdam, with Victor Osimhen delivering a masterclass as he scored all three goals. The Turkish giants continue their impressive Champions League campaign, adding Ajax to a growing list of European scalps after victories over Liverpool and Bodø/Glimt.

Cagey First Half Leaves Both Sides Searching for Breakthrough

The opening 45 minutes were tightly contested as both Ajax and Galatasaray created promising chances but failed to convert. Ajax’s fluid passing and quick transitions tested the Galatasaray back line, while the visitors responded with sharp counterattacks led by Leroy Sané and Osimhen.

Despite the open play, neither side managed to find the finishing touch before the break.

Osimhen Breaks the Deadlock in the 59th Minute

The second half belonged entirely to Galatasaray.

In the 59th minute, Leroy Sané delivered a perfectly weighted pass to Victor Osimhen, who cut inside and fired a composed finish into the net. The goal shifted momentum dramatically, with Ajax visibly shaken as Galatasaray grew in confidence.

Two Penalties Complete Osimhen’s Hat-Trick

Galatasaray continued to apply pressure, forcing Ajax into mistakes inside their defensive third. Their aggression paid off when they were awarded a penalty in the 66th minute. Osimhen stepped up and confidently converted to make it 2–0.

Just over ten minutes later, Galatasaray earned another spot-kick, and once again Osimhen made no mistake, firing home in the 78th minute to complete his Champions League hat-trick and seal a remarkable night for the away team.

Galatasaray’s European Momentum Builds

With this 3–0 victory, Galatasaray continue their extraordinary run in Europe this season. Having already defeated Liverpool and Bodø/Glimt, the Turkish champions are proving themselves to be one of the most dangerous and in-form sides in the competition.

Their attack—powered by Osimhen, Sané, and Icardi—has become one of the most feared trios in the Champions League.
