In the opening match of the week, Galatasaray hosted Rizespor.Galatasaray started the match well and managed to take a 1-0 lead in the 9th minute.Making good use of the positions they found compared to their opponent, Galatasaray closed the first half 4-1 ahead.In the second half, the fast game continued.The two teams continued to score goals and reached a score of 6-2 at the end of the match.Kerem Demirbay scored 3 goals in the match and Galatasaray had a multi-goal victory after a long time.With this win, Galatasaray managed to increase the point difference with its rival Fenerbahçe to 5 with more than a match.
Now that Galatasaray is competing in one lane, they are more comfortable in the matches and we saw that in the Rize match. Galatasaray had no difficulty in the Rizespor match and scored 6 goals. Derrick Köhn was one of my favorite players in the Rizespor match. He fulfilled his duty completely.
Rizespor's open play and positive football style causes them to create a lot of openings. They conceded too many goals against Galatasaray because of this style of play.
If Rizespor, who had a brave game plan, could finish the first half without conceding a goal, they could have given Galatasaray a nightmare. Rizespor had a lot of chances but they couldn't be effective. It was one of the most enjoyable matches I have watched this season. The championship race will get more exciting as the end of the season approaches.
