Week 21: TRABZONSPOR 1-5 GALATASARAY

When the first 20 weeks of the league were over, Galatasaray could only stay at the top of the league for 1 week. After the Hatayspor defeat, they handed over the leadership seat to Fenerbahçe, and after the draw with Sivasspor, they fell 2 points behind their rival. When the 21st week of the league arrived, Galatasaray had the opportunity to be at the top again. On January 21, 2024, at 16:00, while Fenerbahçe hosted Samsunspor, Galatasaray would play against Trabzonspor as the away team. As the point difference increased, yellow and navy blues left the field with 1 point from their home.

Just 1 hour after the match in Kadıköy, the first whistle was blown in Trabzon. It was wondered what decision Okan Buruk would make due to Mauro Icardi's injury. Wilfried Zaha, who took the field as number 9 in Trabzon, completed the match with 2 goals and 1 assist, and the yellow and reds left the field with a magnificent 5-1 victory. With this result, Okan Buruk's students became both joint leaders and started a series of high-scoring victories.

Week 23: GALATASARAY 2-1 GAZİANTEP FK

In the 23rd week of the league, Galatasaray hosted Gaziantep FK. In order not to move away from the top, the yellow and reds had no chance other than to get 3 points. The match, which was expected to be easy, developed differently. While the guest team ended the first half 1-0 behind, Galatasaray was struggling to break through the Gaziantep wall. Despite Zaha's equalizer, enough opportunities could not be created in the last part of the match.

When the 89th minute came, Barış Alper Yılmaz took the stage. The national football player, who joined the attack from the left-back position, brought victory to his team with a stylish shot with his weak foot. This goal made Barış Alper Yılmaz an indispensable player and prevented Galatasaray from being in a serious demoralized situation. In addition, after this match, the yellow and reds did not end the first half of any league match behind.

Week 25: GALATASARAY 2-0 RAMS BAŞAKŞEHİR

The Galatasaray-Başakşehir match actually developed in a different scenario from the general league. The yellow and reds, who put the score in their pocket in the first half, kept the tempo in the second half and left the field with a 2-0 victory. However, the importance of this match emerged 24 hours later.

Fenerbahçe hosted Corendon Alanyaspor one day after this match. Fenerbahçe left the field with a 2-2 draw in the match they entered the last half-hour ahead. After this result, Galatasaray took the lead with a 2-point difference after weeks. While the yellow and reds reached 66 points at the end of the 25th week, they neither fell from the top nor experienced any point loss.

Week 30: KASIMPAŞA 3-4 GALATASARAY

We can say that the 30th week is one of the turning points of the league. When the dates showed March 17, Galatasaray visited the in-form Kasımpaşa, and Fenerbahçe faced Trabzonspor away.

The Kasımpaşa-Galatasaray match started at 16:00. Galatasaray twice took the lead in the match but entered the last 10 minutes with a 3-2 deficit. After Kasımpaşa was reduced to 10 men, Galatasaray increased the pressure and managed to return with a vital victory with Icardi's goal in the 83rd minute and Carlos Vinicius' goal in the 90th minute.

While the yellow and reds left behind one of their most challenging away matches, the fact that Galatasaray did not suffer any point loss from a 7-goal match before Fenerbahçe's match in Trabzon continued the difference at the top.

Week 36: FATİH KARAGÜMRÜK 2-3 GALATASARAY

Galatasaray went to the Olympic Stadium with the slogan of championship, and the attention was also on the Fenerbahçe-Kayserispor match played in Kadıköy. Galatasaray would declare its championship by winning if İsmail Kartal's students suffered a loss of points. However, Fenerbahçe scored early goals and left the field with 3 points against Kayserispor.

In the match at the Olympic Stadium, Fatih Karagümrük scored the first goal. At this time, Fenerbahçe reduced the difference to 3 in the live score table. Galatasaray returned with goals from Barış Alper Yılmaz and Mertens and relaxed again. Although Markao equalized the score to 2-2, Berkan had the final say in the 90th minute, and the yellow and reds entered the last 2 weeks with a great advantage. Now, Okan Buruk's students only needed 1 point for the championship.

Week 38: KONYASPOR 1-3 GALATASARAY

Galatasaray, who would become the champion with 1 point in Konya, left the field with 3 points and became the champion for the 24th time. Okan Buruk's students took the lead with Mauro Icardi's goal in the 29th minute. The assist was made by Derrick Köhn. When the 51st minute came, Icardi took the stage once again and made the score 2-0 with his stylish goal. The last goal that relieved and led Galatasaray to the championship came from Berkan Kutlu in the 53rd minute. Despite Fenerbahçe's victory over İstanbulspor in Kadıköy, they could not catch up with their rival, and the yellow and reds reached the happy ending.
