Outstanding performance
Galatasaray•AttackerGalatasaray dominated territorially from the outset but found themselves behind early on as Novatus Miroshi punished a rare defensive lapse, only for Davinson Sánchez to restore parity before the break. The hosts turned the screw after halftime, with Gabriel Sara's finish and Osimhen's penalty appearing to settle matters at 3-1, but Göztepe refused to fold, with substitute Juan scoring almost immediately after coming on to set up a nervy finish. Despite Göztepe registering 8 saves and battling hard defensively with 14 tackles, they were ultimately undone by Galatasaray's sheer weight of chances - 34 shots and 5 big chances created told the story of the hosts' control. The result keeps Galatasaray firmly in the title conversation while Göztepe, despite the defeat, will take heart from their late fight and attacking cameo off the bench.

Kick-off! The referee is Mehmet Turkmen.
Galatasaray host a Göztepe side crippled by a defensive injury crisis at Rams Global Stadium this Saturday, looking to move top of the Super Lig early-season standings. With the visitors missing key centre-backs and struggling at position 14, the champions look well-placed to make it two wins from three.
