FORMER INTER

However, a victorious match for Galatasaray thanks to two goals from another ex from Serie A (Sampdoria and Inter): Mauro Icardi, author of the penalty that unlocked the game during the abundant recovery of the first half. And closed one minute from the end (89 ‘) with the doubling on an assist from Kerem Akturkoglu. While waiting for Fenerbahce to play, Galatasaray remains at the top of the Super Lig with an eight point advantage over their rivals and over Besiktas (76 to 68) which has the same number of games (32) as the leaders.
