Fenerbahçe will not be in action this weekend. Galatasaray took the opportunity to break out in terms of points and put a disappointing Europa League week behind them with a positive result. Although Beşiktaş managed to achieve a certain victory, in their opinion, by conceding a goal in stoppage time, Galatasaray were able to perform their mandatory tasks with confidence and went into the international break with three important points.
Beşiktaş scores from the spot after VAR intervention!
The “Black Eagles” who visited the Gaziantep Stadyumu started with an oppressive possession football against Gaziantep FK opponent. In the 29th minute of the match, Beşiktaş Istanbul was awarded a penalty by VAR after Immobile was brought down in the penalty area. The foul-mouthed striker picked himself up and scored from the penalty spot to give the team a 1-0 lead. Deian Sorescu’s supposed equalizer in the 44th minute was disallowed after VAR intervened.
The second half started with Beşiktaş also in most possession and it didn’t turn out to be a comfortable 1-0 win for the visitors from Istanbul. The big shock moment (90th +5) when Alexandru Maxim pushed the ball in to make the final score 1-1 caused concern among Beşiktaş supporters.
Galatasaray won without conceding a goal! – Yunus Akgün confirms the top form with another goal
After two consecutive draws, Galatasaray Istanbul wanted to be more stable defensively in the third attempt and started the first half with a great goal. At Rams Park at home, Gabriel Sara crossed the ball from half-field, precisely with a chip ball over the Alanyaspor defense to the incoming Yunus Akgün. The agile winger then slotted home the ball to make it 1-0 at half-time.
In the second half, Galatasaray played relentlessly forward and had several chances to make it 2-0, but they missed their opportunities time and time again. Defensively, “Cim Bom” was much more stable and showed a determined performance, trying to end the game without a single shot on his own goal.
