OMER ÜRÜNDÜL – GALATASARAY WINS WITH HIS AMBITION
Galatasaray started the game with a very effective offensive press… In a short time, Emre Kılınç could not take advantage of a very important clear opportunity. Then, on a free kick from the side, Gedson scored an excellent goal. Then Galatasaray destroyed the game with high tempo until the end of the half.
Rize was closing well but was making two serious mistakes. First; It is very simple to lose the ball in the exits… Secondly, they want to start the game by making a pass with the goalkeeper. This created an advantageous environment for Galatasaray. The goal came towards the end of the half. With a nice shot by Van Aanholt…
In the second half, Galatasaray increased the tempo even more, but Rize had a scoring advantage with a generic goal against Tyler Boyd in an attacking attempt. Tension escalated. Galatasaray won two penalties, the first one escaped, the second time the score was balanced. Afterwards, there was intense pressure from Galatasaray again. The tempo was consistently high.
