The exit of Antalyaspor to the home of Samsunspor was accompanied by a draw. In the first half, Antalyaspor was superior, having a possession rate of 57% and more goal opportunities. Eventually the score was 0-1 in the 41st minute with a goal by Steven Mendy. In the second half, roles were reversed and Samsunspor had dominance in ball possession, making 15 attempts on goal. Finally, in the 92nd minute, Samsunspor managed to equalize to 1-1 with a goal by Dimata. With both teams having the upper hand in one half each, the match ended in a deserved 1-1 draw.

In the league table, Antalyaspor is in 11th place with 41 points. They are far from both European positions and the relegation red line. Their only goal is to finish as high as possible in a disappointing season for the team, which finished in 4th place last year.

Galatasaray added another win to this season’s collection against the weak opponent Pentikspor. Mauro Icardi opened the score for Galata in the 35th minute. Five minutes later, Abdulkarim Bardakci doubled his team’s goals, making it 2-0, which was also the score at halftime. In the replay, Dries Mertens made it 3-0 in the 76th minute. Pentikspor reduced the score to 3-1 in the 85th minute with Oztrk. The final touch in Galata’s easy victory was made by Kerem Akturkoglu in the 96th minute with a successful penalty kick.

Galatasaray is now +4 from Fenerbahce, after Fener’s loss of points to Sivasspor. With five games left until the end, they have taken a safety distance that allows them one slip-up. At the moment, however, they seem unstoppable.
