The season began in Turkey this Saturday with the Super Cup, which pitted Galatasaray against Besiktas. The opportunity for Michy Batshuayi to make his professional debut, but the match did not go as planned.
The first official match of the season went very badly for Galatasaray. During the Turkish Super Cup, the club of Dries Mertens and Michy Batshuayi faced Besiktas in an Istanbul derby that ended very badly for Galatasaray.
After just 20 seconds of play, Ciro Immobile opened the scoring for Besiktas (0-1), but it was in the second half that everything began to fall apart for Galatasaray. At half-time, Dries Mertens, who had started, was replaced by his compatriot Michy Batshuayi.
A great debut for the Red Devil, but in the 53rd minute, Svensson doubled the lead in favor of the Eagles. On a penalty, Immobile scored twice and killed the match (81st), before a red card from Nelsson which left the Gala at 10.
At the end of the match, the score would get even worse: Silva and Hekimoglu would make it 0-4 and 0-5 in stoppage time for a real humiliation suffered by the reigning champion of Turkey. We will have to recover before the start of the championship, next Friday against Hatayspor…
