Galatasaray overcame a tough challenge from Ricardo Sá Pinto’s Bodrumspor side, who had recently climbed away from the relegation zone with impressive results.

Galatasaray’s aggressive play paid off in the first half when Lucas Torreira scored from Gabriel Sara’s assist to open the scoring.

The first half ended with this scoreline, and despite Bodrumspor’s late pressure, Davinson Sánchez secured Galatasaray’s victory with a second goal in the 81st minute.

With this win, Galatasaray reached 77 points while Bodrumspor remained 14th with 34 points after their 15th defeat of the season.

This was only Bodrumspor’s third defeat under Sá Pinto’s management in the last two months. Before his arrival, the team was 17th in the Turkish Super Lig table but has since moved away from the relegation zone.

In other key matches this week, Fenerbahçe will host Kayserispor on Sunday night. José Mourinho, who had hoped for better results from his former assistant against Galatasaray, faces a tough challenge to close the gap with their city rivals.
