Baris Yilmaz equalised in the 84th minute, earning Galatasaray a 1-1 draw against Gaziantep. His late strike capped a display that produced six key passes.
He had been the game's primary supply line from the right, repeatedly working crossing positions and keeping Gaziantep's back line pinned in. The pressure told when he arrived to score late.
Yilmaz's end product backed up the eye test: three big chances created and six accurate crosses from 13 underlined his delivery, while two attempts included the crucial shot on target for the leveller.
Galatasaray funnelled attacks down his flank, and his quick deliveries and direct dribbles forced constant defensive adjustments, ensuring Gaziantep never settled in the closing stages.
