Galatasaray won the derby. Obviously, there was a red card in the derby, as I expected, but it was an early red card that broke the match early. Mert Günok got a very unnecessary red card which led to an early break for Beşiktaş. Icardi's goal gave Galatasaray a 1-0 lead and Galatasaray managed to close the first half 1-0 ahead. In the second half, Besiktas continued to press and equalized in the 69th minute through Chamberlain. In the 82nd minute Icardi scored from the penalty spot. I must say that Galatasaray dominated the match in terms of possession but both teams were equal in terms of possession.
Galatasaray was lucky to win the match even though the lead was only thanks to penalty.
Besiktas is pretty great team here and they have also dominated the league for several seasons even in the 2020/21 season Besiktas were able to become champions of the Turkish Super League.
And Galatasaray victory in this match was due to nothing other than the penalty they received.
But Mauro Icardi really draw attention.
Even though this player from Argentina is 30 years old he can play like great young player.
I don't know formerly why Inter and PSG just let him go and the presence of Mauro Icardi really provides a big advantage for Galatasaray.
