Galatasaray becomes the first Turkish team to beat Lille

Galatasaray went into the record books as the first Turkish team to beat the French side Lille. The yellow-reds won the match 4-2.

Before this match, Lille had faced Turkish teams a total of 6 times in Europe. Their opponents were Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor. The French side had won 2 of those matches and drawn 4, so they had never lost against Turkish opposition.

In those same matches, Lille scored 7 goals and conceded 5. Over the previous six matches, the French side's goal difference was +2 in their favor. Against Galatasaray, however, they conceded 4 goals in a single match and scored 2.

This ended Lille's unbeaten record against Turkish teams. Galatasaray will be remembered as the team that handed them their first defeat in this fixture history.
