Galatasaray entered the match already aware of their rival's result for the top spot, who won 5-1 to temporarily distance themselves. Therefore, with a squad dealing with injuries and playing at home, they had to not only aim for a win but also to impress and score big. Meanwhile, Konyaspor sought an upset to move away from the relegation zone.

Galatasaray consistently pressured the visitors' goal with over 8 shots on target and more than 20 total attempts, but they only broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute with a stunning volley from Bardakci, opening the door for Konyaspor's solid defense to concede more spaces.

Okan Buruk's team didn't miss the opportunity and, in injury time, went on to search for goals that could make a difference in the final standings. They found the back of the net two more times in 3 minutes with Bardakci and Zaha, the latter scoring from a rebound, both during injury time.

With this result, Galatasaray sends a message to Fenerbahce that not even injuries will prevent them from staying level on points at the end of this matchday. On the other hand, Konyaspor sees the danger zone closer and will need to rectify this defeat to avoid a dramatic fall.
