Victor Osimhen has opened up on his team’s performance following yesterday’s draw against Atakaş Hatayspor.

Galatasaray dropped two vital points in their race for the Turkish League title following their 1-1 draw against relegation-threatening Hatayspor.

The Super Eagles star led the attack for the league leaders and played an important role in the game.

However, despite scoring his 14th goal of the season from the penalty spot, they could only salvage a draw from the game.

According to reports from Galatasaray's official website, Osimhen said, "The first half lacked a bit of intensity. 

“We allowed the opponent to play a little, but after the coach’s talk, we started the second half really well. 

"We increased the intensity and focused more on our game. These kinds of matches are difficult.
