Trabzonspor Defeats Galatasaray 2-1 with Nigerian Stars

He nearly doubled the lead with a solo effort that was ruled offside.

This victory marked Trabzonspor's fifth consecutive home win and ended a nine-game winless streak against Galatasaray, allowing them to climb to second place in the league table with 63 points, just one point behind Galatasaray. Trabzonspor's next league match is against Alanyaspor as they continue their pursuit of the league title.
