Galatasaray Responds, But Gaziantep Remains Undeterred:

Arzu Karabulut pulled one back for Galatasaray in the 33rd minute, offering a glimmer of hope for the home team.

However, their joy was short-lived, as Bella Rose restored Gaziantep’s two-goal cushion just three minutes later.

Gaziantep Holds Strong Despite Red Card:

The momentum shifted slightly in the 70th minute when Gaziantep’s Rita Akaffou received a red card, reducing them to ten players.

Yet, Nkor and her teammates displayed remarkable resilience, continuing to dominate possession and creating scoring opportunities.

Gaziantep Seeks to Build Momentum:

Despite the impressive victory, Gaziantep remains in 11th place on the table with 19 points, significantly behind Galatasaray, who now occupy second place after being dethroned by Fenerbahce.
