Girondins de Bordeaux 1 - 3 Galatasaray

Galatasaray beat Bordeaux 1-3 in the third pre-season friendly match for 2019 – 2020 season.

Lions scored the first goal of the game and got the lead on 6th minute. Ryan Babel backheeled the beautiful cross from Ömer Bayram and found the back of net.

At the last moments of the first half, after an vital mistake made by Bordeaux goalie Kostil around the penalty box, Adem Büyük got the ball, then passed quickly to Atalay Babacan who calmly scored and put our Lions 0-2 front.

First half ended with our 0-2 lead.

On 65th minute, our Lions increased their lead to 0-3. After an organised build-up from the back, Bordeaux’s defense deflected a cross from left wing but Adem followed and got the ball outside the box, then smashed it home from distance into the back of the net and made it 0-3.

On 72nd minute, Bordeaux got one back and cut our lead to two with Samuel Kalu’s header.

The match ended with a 1-3 win for our Lions.
