Match Recap
Galatasaray finally broke a two-game winless run against Kocaelispor, grinding out a 1-0 Süper Lig win on the back of A. Bardakci's 71st-minute goal. Kocaelispor came into this one in formidable shape, winning three of their first four Süper Lig matches and arriving just one point behind Galatasaray in fourth place. Across their last two meetings, the visitors had taken four points off the Istanbul club, winning once and drawing once, which gave this fixture a weight that went well beyond its position on the early-season calendar. Bardakci's goal with nineteen minutes remaining proved the only moment of separation in what was a tight, attritional contest. Galatasaray now sit second on 10 points while Kocaelispor fall back to nine in fourth. Süper Lig leading scorer V. Osimhen tops the division on 18 goals this season, but it was Bardakci who provided the one decisive touch that mattered on the night. Watch the goal that ended Galatasaray's head-to-head drought in the highlights above.
