Galatasaray overwhelmed Bayern

The home stadium of Turkish football teams is always likened to a “pan of fire” because of the extremely passionate atmosphere. And Bayern Munich almost became defeated here.

Before this match, Bayern had 6 points after 2 wins. Galatasaray is also excited after the spectacular victory over Man United in the previous match.

The quality of the аttаck helped the away team score the opening goal early. In the 8th minute, Leroy Sane cleverly dribbled the ball from the left wing to the middle and then threw a pass to Kingsley Coman. In a favorable position, the French striker easily kicked the ball into Galatasaray’s net.

But then the Turkish team did not collapse. They quickly regained their position and organized many dangerous attacks.

Galatasaray’s efforts to stop the ball paid off in the 30th minute, when Icardi was fouled by Kimmich in the penalty area. 

On the penalty spot, the same Argentine striker coldly kicked Panenka to equalize 1-1.

With the excitement from the passionate cheers of the home fans, Galatasaray continued to play aggressively.

They ended the first half with a shоcking statistic about the number of shots. In just 45 minutes, Galatasaray launched 15 shots, while Bayern Munich only had 3. Bayern goalkeeper Ulreich had to make a save three times.

Kane shined promptly

Missing many opportunities, Galatasaray had to pay the price in the 73rd minute because of another flash of Bayern’s аttаck. Harry Kane – who was a lackluster player from the beginning of the match – rushed in to meet Musiala’s uncomfortable cross.

Kane’s first heel attempt was unsuccessful. But he quickly kicked the rebound and Galatasaray’s net shook. Bayern once again took the lead.

6 minutes later, the Kane – Musiala duo once again shined to help the home team deepen the gap. This time Kane was the creator with a delicate escape and then returned it to Musiala for a dangerous shot that left goalkeeper Muslera standing still.

In the end, Bayern Munich won 3-1. “Gray Tigers” have all 9 points after 3 matches, 5 points ahead of Galatasaray. The German team will win tickets to continue if they continue to win the return match with Galatasaray taking place in 2 weeks.
