Galatasaray hosted the Greek representative PAOK in the first week match of the UEFA Europa League. The yellow-reds started the league stage of the tournament with a victory by winning the match at RAMS Park 3-1.

OSIMHEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH, YUNUS MISSED AT THE END OF THE FIRST HALF

Galatasaray started the match quickly. The yellow-red team came very close to scoring with Victor Osimhen in the very first seconds. The Nigerian striker, who made a header in a favorable position from Kaan Ayhan's cross, sent the ball over the top out. When the clock showed 42 minutes, Yunus Akgün also failed to capitalize on a clear goal opportunity. Yunus's shot from the cross into the penalty area went into the side netting. While the stands rose in anticipation of a goal, the commentator also initially announced a goal.

GALATASARAY EXPECTED A PENALTY

Galatasaray's number 10, Mertens, fell to the ground after a duel with his opponent in the PAOK penalty area, and the yellow-red team expected a penalty. The Spanish referee Alejandro Hernandez, despite the intense protests from Galatasaray players, ignored it and continued the game. The penalty that Hernandez did not award led to controversies.

CİMBOM SCORED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND HALF

While the first half of the match played at RAMS Park ended without goals, the yellow-reds took the lead in the 49th minute. In the corner kick taken by Dries Mertens, Victor Osimhen touched the ball, which then deflected off Baba Rahman and found the net. UEFA credited the goal to the PAOK player. Meanwhile, Victor Osimhen was announced for the goal in the stadium, and the song "Yarim Yarim" was played as the goal music.

PAOK EQUALIZED

The visiting team equalized in the 67th minute. In a PAOK attack developing from the right wing, Jonny, who went to the line with Zivkovic's pass, turned the ball inside. Konstantelias sent the ball into the net after it deflected off goalkeeper Günay Güvenç's foot, bringing the score to 1-1. As there were no more goals in the remaining minutes, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

YUNUS CAME TO THE STAGE

Galatasaray managed to take the lead once again with a goal in the 75th minute. Mertens, who met the ball from Kaan's cross, directed his shot towards the goal area, which went to Victor Osimhen. Yunus Akgün, who managed to send the ball into the net with a powerful shot after Osimhen headed it down, brought his team back into the lead, making the score 2-1.
