Galatasaray Dominates Goztepe at Home After Early Red Card
Galatasaray secured a commanding victory over Goztepe at the RAMS Park in Istanbul, in a match defined by the home side’s dominance and an early sending-off. Goztepe initially surprised with a goal from E. Bekiroglu in the 6th minute, but their joy was short-lived. Galatasaray responded swiftly with a goal by V. Osimhen in the 19th minute. The game’s turning point came in the 42nd minute when M. Bokele of Goztepe was sent off after receiving his second yellow card, leaving his team with ten men. From then on, Galatasaray controlled the game with an overwhelming 79% possession. In the second half, Gabriel Sara extended the lead in the 63rd minute, assisted by Y. Akgun, and M. Icardi sealed the victory in the 66th minute. Despite Goztepe’s bravery, the numerical disadvantage and Galatasaray’s dominance proved too much. The home side demonstrated their superiority with 24 shots, 12 of them on target, while Goztepe struggled to create danger, managing only 5 shots, 3 on target. Referee Oguzhan Cakir issued one yellow card to Galatasaray and two to Goztepe, in addition to the red card to Bokele.
