Galatasaray Beat Amedspor 4-3, Columnists Debate the Change

In Week 11 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Galatasaray faced Amedspor at RAMS Park. The yellow-reds won the goal-filled match 4-3 and raised their total to 28 points. Galatasaray remained at the top, 5 points clear of its closest rival, with one extra game played. Amedspor were second with 23 points.

Levent Tüzemen of Sabah wrote that after the score reached 3-0, the crowd thought the match was over, but then goals from Dia Saba and Gift Orban raised the tension. Tüzemen argued that the ineffective play in the second half began when Deniz Gül started at centre-forward. In his view, coach Okan, comfortable with the lead and thinking about the national team, brought Deniz Gül on, and this change upset Galatasaray's balance.

Cem Dizdar of Fanatik noted that after the 75th minute Galatasaray increased the pressure in midfield but could not push Amedspor out of their own half. Dizdar wrote that after Barış Alper's header, another goal similar to Orban's goal was conceded, and that the match ended in victory.

Serkan Korkmaz of Fotomaç wrote that the lead went to two after an error by the Amed goalkeeper, and that after Leao was injured at the start of the second half, Batrakov's goal made it 3-0. Korkmaz reported that Saba's free-kick goal and Orban's header cut the gap to one, and that Barış Alper's header restored Galatasaray's two-goal lead.
