Galatasaray SK beat Erzurumspor FK 4-0 in the Super Lig, scoring three times before half-time and adding a late fourth through V. Osimhen.

Match Summary

The away side was in front after 12 minutes through R. Sallai, and Y. Akgun made it two before the game was 20 minutes old. V. Osimhen was the provider that time. Erzurumspor still had the rest of the half to respond, but the third goal arrived on 45 minutes when V. Osimhen scored himself. The hosts went into the break three down, with the official result already slipping away.

After the restart there was no genuine swing back toward the home side. Galatasaray kept the ball moving and waited for another opening. It came in the 79th minute, V. Osimhen finishing again after an assist from Gabriel Sara to complete the 0-4 scoreline. N. Akhundzade was shown a yellow card for Erzurumspor FK in the 84th minute as the match wound down.

Key Moments

Those first 20 minutes were the real turning point. Two early goals forced Erzurumspor to chase a team that had already found the net twice, and the home side never recovered the structure it needed.

The goal on the stroke of half-time mattered because it closed the door on a simple second-half plan. Chasing two is hard. Chasing three, after creating so little of note, left Erzurumspor with almost no path back into the contest.

When V. Osimhen scored again from Gabriel Sara's pass, the remaining minutes became about game management. Galatasaray did not need another twist, and the late yellow for N. Akhundzade did not change the shape of the night.

Match Statistics

The shot count was close, yet the chance quality was not. Possession finished 50 percent each and corners were 2-2, with Erzurumspor taking 10 shots to Galatasaray's 9. The visitors landed four shots on target to two and recorded 2.47 expected goals against 0.36. Erzurumspor collected the only yellow card of the match, while neither side saw a red.
