Galatasaray, having already secured the Trendyol Super Lig title for a record 25th time, maintained its strong form with a 2-0 away victory over Goztepe on Saturday, reaffirming its dominance ahead of the season’s final matchweek.
The deadlock was broken in the 70th minute after Ahmed Kutucu was brought down just outside the left edge of the penalty area. Kaan Ayhan stepped up to take the resulting free kick and curled the ball into the net, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead.
