Galatasaray, sitting as co-leader in the SüperLig, aimed to keep their streak of consecutive wins going, especially at home to put pressure on Fenerbahce, facing a Basaksehir side trailing by 30 points but fighting for a spot in Europe and to move out of the mid-table where they currently sit.

Galatasaray came out at home in the first half like a steam train, grabbing the lead with an offensive onslaught that saw them score two goals in 6 minutes. Those goals were enough to maintain their advantage and the match continued as a mere formality, ending with a scoreline that remained unchanged from the 31st minute until the final whistle.
