Decisive figure carries Galatasaray past Gençlerbirliği | OneFootball

Yunus Akgün set the tone in the second minute with a measured assist and later scored, lifting Galatasaray to a 2-1 win at Gençlerbirliği.

Early on he slipped a neat pass into space for Mauro Icardi to finish high from the centre of the box, putting the visitors in charge of the contest.

He then arrived in the six-yard area to tuck in from close range (35.), capitalising on a low delivery to double the lead and give the Aslan clear daylight.

Akgün's impact went beyond the final third. He finished with three attempts, one on target, and won six possessions, while completing 10 successful passes in the final third to keep attacks stitched together.

Because he repeatedly received between the lines and worked back diligently, Akgün kept Gençlerbirliği's back line guessing and ensured the Aslan controlled key moments after the restart.

The Aslan host Gençlerbirliği in the Türkiye Kupasi quarter-finals next. How high would you rate Akgün's performance tonight?
