Leao Scored His First Goal for Galatasaray Against Konyaspor

Galatasaray won 4-0 away to Konyaspor in Week 10 of the Süper Lig. One of the most talked-about names in the yellow-reds' convincing win was Rafael Leao. The Portuguese player, transferred from Milan, celebrated a goal for the first time in his ninth match of the season.

After the goal, the Italian press also followed Leao's performance closely. Sky Sport Italia reminded readers that the player had not scored in his first eight matches in Turkey, but had provided an assist in the Barcelona match. La Gazzetta dello Sport announced the goal to its readers and stressed that, about two months after his transfer, he had found the net for Galatasaray for the first time.

A notable detail in the match was a penalty situation. After Victor Osimhen left the penalty to a teammate, Leao sent the ball into the net. Running to Osimhen after the goal to thank him, Leao performed a celebration gesture he has often used in his career, this time in a Galatasaray shirt.

Leao started in the starting eleven after a three-week break and stayed on the pitch for the full 90 minutes. Converting the penalty he won in the second half directly contributed to his team's emphatic victory.
