Galatasaray Beat Amed Sportif 4-3 to Go Top Before the International Break

Galatasaray beat Amed Sportif 4-3 in a thrilling seven-goal match played at RAMS Park. With this win, the yellow-reds rose to 28 points in Week 11 and collected their ninth league victory, going to the top of the table as the international break began.

The home side extended their unbeaten run at home to 41 matches. That run includes 33 wins and 8 draws. The club's record for being unbeaten at home was matched with the legendary run from May 2017 to November 2019. Galatasaray have not lost a league match in front of their fans since a 1-0 derby defeat to Fenerbahçe on May 19, 2024.

Galatasaray broke down the opposition defence in the 7th minute. Rafael Leão, set up by a pass from Lucas Torreira, cut into the left side of the penalty area and fired a clinical shot past goalkeeper Alban Lafont. Leão scored this goal in his second consecutive match, following his goal against Konyaspor. Towards half-time, in the 45th minute, Aleksey Batrakov shot from a tight angle. Lafont could not reach the ball, and it was recorded as an own goal, doubling the home side's lead.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Batrakov struck a long-range shot from outside the box. After deflecting off Bates, the ball wrong-footed Lafont and made it 3-0. Amed Sportif did not give up in their first Süper Lig match. In the 62nd minute, Dia Saba curled a free kick from the edge of the box past Uğurcan Çakır and into the net. Three minutes later, Gift Orban headed home a superb cross from Furkan Soyalp on the left wing, cutting the deficit to 3-2. At the final whistle, Galatasaray had won 4-3.
