Icardi and Yunus score, Galatasaray wins

Galatasaray defeated Gençlerbirliği 2-1 in an away match at Eryaman Stadium, returning to winning ways after a one-match break in the league.

The goals that brought the 3 points to 'Cimbom' were scored by Mauro Icardi in the 2nd minute and Yunus Akgün in the 35th minute.

The capital city representative's only goal came from M'Baye Niang in the 66th minute.

The goal scored by the yellow-reds in the 60th minute by Leroy Sane was disallowed due to offside following a VAR review.

EXTENDED THE POINT GAP TO 4

Taking good advantage of the opportunity in a week where their closest rival Fenerbahçe dropped points, Galatasaray increased their total to 71 points and extended the point gap with Fenerbahçe to 4.

Gençlerbirliği, whose winless streak in the league has reached 10 matches, remained in 15th place with 25 points on goal difference.

WILL FACE FENERBAHÇE IN THE DERBY

In the 31st week of the Süper Lig, Galatasaray will face their arch-rival Fenerbahçe at home.

Gençlerbirliği, struggling to stay in the league, will host Kocaelispor.
