Trabzonspor played away to Galatasaray at their new Aslantepe/Turk Telekom Arena behind closed doors with one goal on their minds: victory.
The day before Fenerbahce played away to Eskisehirspor knowing that if they won that game they would jump ahead of Trabzon into first place by one point with Trabzon having a game in hand. Trabzon however achieved the same amount of points Fener did to regain their leadership of the league and be ahead by two points.
Galatasaray needed the win after a very dissappointing loss at Antalyaspor (3-0) last week. The home side id actually play well but could not convert the chances they created. Trabzon however converted their one golden chance of the game.
With 8 minutes left to play in the game, Jackson "Jaja" Coelho had possession of the ball near the 18 yard box and brilliantly returned the ball to Burak Yilmaz to complete a give and go and Burak simply placed the ball past Gala keeper Marcelo Zapata. 1-0 Trabzon.
Gala were dropped to 10 men 9 minutes before the goal was scored when Kazim Richards deliberately stepped on the right foot of Trabzon right back Serkan Balci.
Galatasaray now sit in 14th place with only 33 points 28 games into the season. They are 9 points above the relegation zone.
Trabzonpor and Fenerbahce are in a hea dto head race to win the League title. They will not play one another in the league since they have already played twice with Trabzon winning the first match 3-2 at home and Fenerbahce prevailing in the second 2-0 in Istanbul.
