Match Report
Kasımpaşa pulled off a season-closing upset, defeating reigning champions Galatasaray 1-0 at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium on matchday 34 of the Süper Lig. It was a spirited home display from a side that badly needed the points.
Adrian Benedyczak grabbed the only goal in the 27th minute, converting a move started by Fousseni Diabaté — his 10th league strike of the season. Galatasaray pushed hard: Leroy Sané rattled the upper post in the 38th minute, while Noa Lang was denied twice and Wilfried Singo — booked in the 4th minute — saw a late header also clip the post. But the hosts stood firm.
The win was vital for Kasımpaşa, lifting them to 35 points and confirming their Süper Lig survival. For Galatasaray it was a damp send-off — a fifth away defeat of the campaign — though Okan Buruk's side had already wrapped up the title with 77 points.
