Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe Deliver Statement Wins

Galatasaray opened their week with a trip to Erzurum and left with a commanding 4-0 win over Erzurumspor FK. Goals from Roland Sallai and Yunus Akgün put the visitors ahead before the break, and a Victor Osimhen brace sealed the result. Speaking after the match, head coach Okan Buruk said squad decisions were still being worked on and that a final call would come within the week. A day later in Kadıköy, Fenerbahçe claimed their first league win of the season, beating Tümosan Konyaspor 4-2. Vedat Muriqi opened the scoring, Mason Greenwood added two, and Deniz Türüç sealed it in stoppage time as the hosts kept control despite conceding twice.

Beşiktaş Suffers Its First Setback

On the Mediterranean coast, Beşiktaş fell 1-0 away to Corendon Alanyaspor. The first half finished goalless, but the hosts broke through in the 73rd minute to take all three points. The result handed Beşiktaş their first dropped points of the campaign, while Alanyaspor moved to four points.

Salah Show in Trabzon as Başakşehir Fall

In another key fixture, Mohamed Salah was the standout performer as Trabzonspor beat İstanbul Başakşehir 2-1 at home. Salah scored in the 8th and 48th minutes, while Başakşehir's only goal came from an Eldor Shomurodov penalty in the 19th minute. The win lifted Trabzonspor to four points.

Scare Over Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Followed by Good News

During the 52nd minute of the Fenerbahçe-Konyaspor match, Kerem Aktürkoğlu took a blow to the head in an aerial duel and stayed down for a long time before being stretchered off, worrying supporters as he was taken to hospital. The club later confirmed his tomography scan showed no concerning findings and that his overall condition was good. After one more night under observation, Aktürkoğlu was discharged following final checks.

Champions League Play-off: Fenerbahçe Eyes the Lyon Return Leg

On the European front, Fenerbahçe are preparing for the return leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off tie.
