Galatasaray have become the leaders of the Turkish Spor Toto Super League after beating a challenging Gaziantepspor team 1-0 in front of its fans on Sunday evening.
Galatasaray, the Istanbul giants, increased the pressure for Gaziantepspor starting from the beginning of the game, but could not find the dead lock-breaking goal until the 85th minute.
Defender Hakan Balta, who had not scored in the league until Sunday, scored the header after a corner with five minutes to go in the game.
With the result, Galatasaray now have a league-leading 61 points. However, third-placed Besiktas (58 pts) has not played yet and they will meet with Karabukspor on Monday.
Hakan Balta's game-winning goal recorded was as the 200th goal in Turk Telekom Arena, Galatasaray's stadium.
Galatasaray managed not to concede a goal after 10 league games.
Felipe Melo, who has returned in the line-up after a 69-day lasting injury, was booked a yellow card and will not play next week.
