Turkish champions Galatasaray beat mid-table side Göztepe 3-2 in a tightly contested Süper Lig match in Istanbul Saturday.
Göztepe took the lead in the 16th minute when Efkan Bekiroğlu's corner from the right was headed toward the far post by Andre Henrique, where Novatus Miroshi struck to find the net.
Galatasaray came close to an equalizer in the 31st minute when Gabriel Sara's shot from the edge of the penalty area went just wide of the post following Roland Sallai's cross.
The hosts leveled in the 33rd minute when Sallai's free kick from the right side of the penalty box was headed back across goal by Lucas Torreira, with the ball deflecting off Davinson Sanchez and into the net to make it 1-1.
Victor Osimhen nearly put Galatasaray ahead just before halftime, but Göztepe goalkeeper Matej Gugeshashvili saved his effort after the Nigerian forward received a through ball from Sallai, ending the first half in a stalemate.
