Galatasaray's 6th Substitution Was Made Under the Rules
Galatasaray's sixth substitution in the match against Konyaspor sparked debate, but its source was the rules. An extra substitution right, opened because the opposing goalkeeper suffered a head injury, also gave the yellow-reds an additional change.
Galatasaray confused football fans with a change it made in the 68th minute of its away match against TÜMOSAN Konyaspor. The yellow-reds had already used their regular quota by making five substitutions at the same time. Then, after Davinson Sanchez was replaced by Bitshiabu, the question "How did Galatasaray make a sixth substitution?" began trending on social media.
The explanation came from Konyaspor goalkeeper Bahadır's head injury. The compulsory change made for medical reasons created an additional substitution right. This right gave the opposing team an extra change, and also gave Galatasaray one more substitution. Okan Buruk used this right with the Bitshiabu substitution.
The match commentator quickly informed viewers of the source of the change, and the confusion was cleared up.
Osimhen scored the opening goal in the match. Yunus, Batrakov and Leao also found the net, and the yellow-reds extended their lead to four goals. Galatasaray's next fixtures are expected to be against Stuttgart in the Champions League and Amed SF in the league.
