With 99 on his back and forming a forward with debutant Juan Mata, recently signed after being released from Manchester United, Icardi decided the match in the 64th minute by converting Panenka -style penalty made to Beknaz Azmalbekov to the joy of Galatasaray fans.
Icardi did not score in his debut on September 23 against Konyaspor in the Turkish championship, but his offensive action allowed Galatasaray to win 2-1 by forcing an own goal by defender Francisco Calvo (81′). Already in injury time, Argentina also caused the expulsion of goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic.
With this victory, Galatasaray became co-leaders of the Turkish Super League tied on points (16 in 7 games) with Adama Demirspor.
