Galatasaray secured their 26th Turkish Super Lig title on Saturday after a thrilling 4–2 victory over Antalyaspor at RAMS Park in Istanbul.

The win, achieved in front of their home fans, sealed a record-extending league triumph for the club, nicknamed the Lions, after a tense second-half performance that saw them recover from a temporary setback.

Galatasaray entered the match needing at least a positive result to confirm the championship but were briefly stunned when Antalyaspor’s Soner Dikmen struck just before halftime to level the contest after early pressure from the hosts.

The visitors’ equaliser cancelled out Galatasaray’s advantage and sent the game into the break at 1–1, raising tension inside a stadium that had already been prepared for celebrations.

The champions, however, regained control in the second half. Mario Lemina restored the lead for Galatasaray in the 56th minute after coming on as a substitute, lifting hopes of a title celebration.
