On paper, this was an exciting fixture and, in reality, it lived up to the hype. Galatasaray started with energy and menace and, before long, they were 1-0 up. In a move that started with Zain and then flowed through Claudio and Lorenzo G, Giovanni Z was on hand to smash home an unstoppable shot. Minutes later, Claudio took advantage of Matteo's unfortunate slip to steal the ball and crash home a second. City were down... but not out! A long ball from Gabriele F was headed on by Jacopo and Antoine did very well to control the ball and shoot past Gabriele T: 2-1! Lorenzo G almost made it 3-1 just before the break but Gabriele F made an excellent save.
In the second period, Lorenzo G tested Gabriele F twice more: first from a free kick and then from the rebound. Gabriele saved both and then looked on gratefully as Edoardo fired the ball over the bar. Claudio shot well too but, again, Gabriele F saved.
Gabriele F came out for period 3 and almost scored immediately but his shot was just too high. Claudio supplied the assist for the Turks' killer third goal, finished off by an in-form Lorenzo G. Jacopo was unlucky not to narrow the gap with a great header that was well-saved by Rex, and Claudio finished off proceedings with a fourth goal, struck from way out on the wing but with enough force to cross the line without needing a touch from Gabriele T!
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Claudio 3, Lorenzo G 3, Giovanni Z 3, Gabriele F 3, Jacopo 2, Antoine 2, Antonio F 1, Giovanni V 1, Gabriele T 1, Zain 1, Rex 1
