Galatasaray consolidated their lead in the Turkish Super League with their ninth straight win, beating Antalyaspor 2-1 on matchday 19 with a goal from Mauro Icardi.
The Argentine striker opened the scoring after 49 minutes with his sixth goal of the championship and, although Brazilian Luiz Adriano leveled the Antalya team five minutes later, an own goal from Dutch Sheral Floranus (m. 59 ) allowed the team led by Okan Buruk resume command, which he never let go.
Asturian Juan Mata, who scored two goals in the previous game against Hatayspor, did not participate in Tuesday’s cup match against Alanyaspor and this time he played in the final stages to replace Belgian Dries Mertens.
Galatasaray leads the table with 45 points, seven more than Fenerbahçe, who visit Umraniyespor this Monday in the last game of the day.
