The Prague team came back twice in Istanbul, and in the 62nd minute, they also had a power play. It seemed Sparta would at least not lose the draw and maybe even win. In the 80th minute, however, the lineup ended up equal when midfielder Matej Rynes received his second yellow card. As a result, Galatasaray scored, and the Czechs couldn't sit on it - 2:3. After that trip, Sparta defeated Slovan Liberec 2:1 in the Czech championship. After the 21st round, the team leads the standings with a handicap of 4 points.

The team seemed to control the match in the home game against Sparta Istanbul. But after taking a 1:0 lead through Demirbay in the 19th minute, they conceded a dangerous penalty early in the second half. Then, after taking the lead for the second time through Mertens, they found themselves in the minority when Nelsson received a red card, allowing Prague to score again. In the end, Galatasaray was saved by two things - a penalty and the genius of Mauro Icardi. The Argentine scored 90+1 to give his team a 3:2 victory. In the home championship last weekend, Galatasaray, without much trouble, Ankaragücü 3:0 - all the goals Istanbul shot in the first half. Galatasaray is first in the standings, two points behind second Fenerbahce.

Galatasaray is a strong team that could play in the Champions League playoffs. The Istanbul club had the initiative in the first match against Sparta but created problems for themselves. Okan Buruk's team can avoid this in the return leg, so they will qualify for the next round. We back Galatasaray to perform well. Also, we take a draw - a result that will take Galatasaray to the round of 16.
