Belhanda was later replaced in the 65th minute while Nigeria duo Jesse Sekidika and Valentine Ozornwafor were introduced as second-half substitutes alongside DR Congo's Christian Luyindama. Super Eagles midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo and Algeria's Sofiane Feghouli did not make the matchday squad as they continue their recoveries, from a thigh injury and hamstring injury, respectively. The emphatic victory fired Galatasaray to second in the Turkish top-flight standings with 33 points after 17 games, a point behind leaders Besiktas. They will be aiming to build on Saturday's win when they visit Yeni Malatyaspor for a Turkish Cup match on Tuesday before travelling to Besiktas for the top-of-the-table clash against Cameroon's Vincent Aboubakar on January 17.
