In the Ziraat Turkey Cup match against Fethiyespor, Galatasaray's Argentine striker Mauro Icardi failed to beat the goalkeeper in two consecutive penalty kicks.
Galatasaray faced TFF 2. Lig representative Fethiyespor in the second week of Group A of the Ziraat Turkey Cup.
GALATASARAY WON A PENALTY
The match was marked by two missed penalties in the final moments of the first half. In the 35th minute of the match, Galatasaray won a penalty. In the attack of the yellow-reds, Kazımcan Karataş took a shot with his left foot from the left diagonal outside the penalty area, and the ball deflected off the defender Şahan. Referee Ayberk Demirbaş identified a handball in the position and pointed to the white spot.
ICARDI FAILED TO CAPITALIZE ON THE PENALTY
The Argentine striker Mauro Icardi, who stepped up to take the penalty, could not get past the goalkeeper. However, after a review, the penalty was retaken due to Fethiyespor players entering the penalty area early.
GOALKEEPER SUCCESSFUL AGAIN ON RETAKEN PENALTY
Icardi stepped up to the ball once again in the 38th minute and shot to the same corner again. Arda Akbulut, who transferred to Fethiyespor for free from Trabzonspor at the beginning of the season, did not allow the star player to score again. After the second penalty, Icardi congratulated goalkeeper Arda Akbulut.
