The 2026-27 Turkish Süper Lig season kicked off yesterday, August 14, with the reigning champions Galatasaray hosting newcomers Çorum in the opening fixture.
The home side broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute through Osimhen, who finished last season with 22 goals. However, the visitors quickly turned the game around, with Kiziridis and Ramirez H. scoring within two minutes to put Çorum ahead. Galatasaray were spared a humiliating defeat thanks to Osimhen again, who netted a crucial equalizer in the 90th minute to secure a 2-2 draw.
