Galatasaray missed the chance to secure the Trendyol Super Lig title after losing 4-1 away to Samsunspor in Week 32, APA reports citing Türkiye Today.

The league leaders went into the match knowing a win would have sealed their fourth consecutive championship and 26th Super Lig title overall, regardless of results elsewhere.

Galatasaray fail to seal championship

Galatasaray entered the week at the top of the table with 74 points from 31 matches.

The yellow-red side had recorded 23 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats before facing Samsunspor. They were 7 points ahead of closest rivals Fenerbahce and 9 points ahead of Trabzonspor with 3 weeks remaining.

However, the defeat in Samsun meant Galatasaray were unable to confirm the championship in this match.

Samsunspor, who started the week in seventh place with 45 points from 31 matches, defeated the league leaders 4-1 at home.
