In the 36th week of the Super League, Galatasaray hosted Kayserispor at home. Cimbom did not allow any surprises in the match where they would mathematically guarantee the championship if they took 1 point from Kayserispor, and they achieved their 25th championship. The Lion, who has reached victory with Okan Buruk for 2 seasons, also clinched the championship this season and managed to wear the 5th star.
OSIMHEN OPENED THE SCORING
Galatasaray, who started the match very quickly, took the lead 1-0 in the 26th minute with a goal from Victor Osimhen, who has made a mark this season. Osimhen's header met the net from a corner taken by Gabriel Sara.
BARIS ALPER CAME ON STAGE 2 MINUTES LATER
After the goal, the yellow-reds increased their pressure even more, and just 2 minutes later, Barış Alper Yılmaz scored to make it 2-0. The first half of the match ended with this score. In the 29th minute, during a free kick taken by Kayserispor, the ball fell behind the penalty arc and was left in front of Barış Alper Yılmaz. Barış Alper found the net with his shot from the penalty spot.
THE FIRST HALF ENDED 2-0
Despite Galatasaray's dominant play, no other goals were scored in the first half, and the teams went to the locker room with this score.
MUSLERA SCORED FROM THE PENALTY
In the second half of the match, the home team had a significant advantage. Although there were occasional attacks from Kayserispor, the visiting team could not reduce the deficit. In the final minutes of the match, Galatasaray won a penalty after a VAR review. The experienced goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, who stepped up to take the penalty, did not make a mistake and brought the score to 3-0. The match ended with this result.
THE LION BECAME CHAMPION, WORE THE 5TH STAR
With this result, the Lion finished the season as champions. The yellow-reds declared their 25th championship and earned the right to wear the 5th star.
MAURO ICARDI IN THE STANDS
Galatasaray's Argentine star footballer Mauro Icardi watched the match from the stands. Icardi, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the match against Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League at the beginning of last November, which ended his season, came to Istanbul for the Kayserispor match.
CALL FOR OSIMHEN TO "STAY"
The yellow-red fans demanded that Nigerian star Victor Osimhen stay with the team for the next season. After the Galatasaray players warmed up before the match, the fans behind the goal displayed a banner with Osimhen's photo and the English text "Stay with us Osimhen." Chants of "The fans went crazy. They want Osimhen." rose from the stands. Before the match, a banner reading "Stay with us Osi, not because you have to, but because you want to" was displayed in the north stand.
