A resilient Galatasaray managed to bag three more points on Sunday evening in an away match against Bursaspor with a 2-1 score in the Spor Toto Super Lig.

Bursaspor, in front of their fans, started the match strong and found the opening goal against the league leaders in the 10th minute, when Congolese midfielder Dzon Delarge finished in front of Galatasaray's six-yard box.

There were no more goals in the first half, although Galatasaray missed some chances.

However, the second half proved to be another story for the undefeated Lions. Subbed in the 64th minute, Sofiane Feghouli's first shot in the league was a banger as Galatasaray equalized the score in the 75th minute.

Constantly attacking to get the lead, Galatasaray finally saw their wishes come true in the 85th minute, when in-form midfielder Tolga Cigerci netted his fifth goal of the season, giving his team the 2-1 lead.

With the final whistle blown, Galatasaray bagged another three points in the young season, continuing to lead the league and boosting their points total to 16 in six matches.
