Galatasaray let goalkeeper take penalty to clinch title | OneFootball

Galatasaray goalkeeper Fernando Muslera scored from the penalty spot as the Turkish side won the Süper Lig with a 3-0 win over Kayserispor on Sunday.

The veteran strode forward to take the spot-kick, squeezing a finish past Bilal Bayazit to score the third goal and seal the win.

Victory confirmed Galatasaray as Turkish champions for the third consecutive campaign, opening up an eight-point lead over arch-rivals Fenerbahce with two games to go.

Victor Osimhem opened the scoring, before Baris Alper Yilmaz doubled the advantage. Osimhen, despite competing for the Golden Boot, unselfishly let Muslera take the late penalty to clinch the points.

The long-serving goalkeeper has been with Galatasaray since 2011 and also scored a spot-kick in his debut season with the club. That penalty came on the last day of the 2011/12 season with the Süper Lig title secured.
