Balıkesirspor midfielder Aykut Çeviker was sent off in the 61st minute after fouling Portuguese wonderkid, Bruma. Visitors Balıkesirspor narrowed the gap to two near the end of the game when Bosnian winger Ermin Zec found the net for his team to make the score 3-1. Galatasaray's Brazilian defensive midfielder, Felipe Melo, sustained an injury and was subbed-out in the second half of the match. Winning against their underdog opponents 3-1 in Istanbul, Galatasaray stay in third place in the league table and raised their points tally to 45. Despite the comfortable scoreline, Galatasaray coach Hamza Hamzaoğlu criticized his players after the game, claiming that their lax defending overshadowed the win. He said, "We won but the fact that we gave too many goal opportunities our rivals shadowed our success. I'm discontent with the performance of my squad. We did a good job till we made the score 3-1. But since my footballers relaxed after the goal difference, they stopped playing collective football." Meanwhile the former chairman of Galatasaray Ünal Aysal said that he would not become a candidate for the club presidency in the general assembly that will be organized in May.
