Galatasaray Trendyol has a 3-0 away win on matchday 26 Super League At MKE Ankaragücü we took the lead again. In advance, the Istanbul team had expressed concerns about the space available at the Eryaman Stadium and even submitted a request for the game to be played in another stadium, but the association rejected the request. At the end of the day, the guests from the Bosphorus should have fewer problems than initially feared. With a double strike within 60 seconds, the “Lions” were on course for victory early on.
Galatasaray made everything clear in the first half
After a corner from Dries Mertens, Kerem Demirbay (13th) scored with a header to make it 1-0 for Galatasaray. Immediately after the restart, central defender Davinson Sanchez (14th) took advantage of his shot opportunity in the center of the penalty area after preparatory work by Bari’s Alper Yilmaz and made it 2-0 for “Gala”. In the 38th minute, Galatasaray loanee Kazimcan Karatas was awarded a penalty for a foul on Mertens. Goal scorer Mauro Icardi converted the penalty in the bottom left and increased the score to 3-0 before halftime. It was the 14th league goal of the season for the 30-year-old Argentine.
Icardi hit doesn’t count
After the break, Tete (63′) tested Ankaragücü’s goalkeeper Bahadir Güngördü with a left-footed shot from the right edge of the penalty area, who was able to fend off the ball. Shortly afterwards, new signing and debutant Derrick Köhn broke into the penalty area from the left side and passed from the goal line back to Icardi (66th), who scored to make it 4-0. But referee Ali Sansalan indicated that Köhn had previously pulled his opponent Stelios Kitsiou and brought him down. The goal therefore did not count due to a previous foul.
Returnee Oliveira hits the crossbar
In the 76th minute, Sergio Oliveira, who was making his comeback after a long injury break, hit the crossbar with a powerful shot. It was the Portuguese’s seventh goal in the Galatasaray jersey. There was no further goal, so Galatasaray recorded a confident 3-0 victory without much effort and took over the top of the table in Turkey again with 69 points. Ankaragücü remains at 29 points, but is only one point ahead of the relegation zone.
