Head coach Fatih Terim left most of his stars at home in the first leg of the sixteenth-final at third-league club Keciörengücü. Alongside Maicon and Ahmet Calik, who were still on the pitch in the derby against Besiktas (1-0), it was the Galatasaray youngsters in particular who were in the starting eleven. Garry Rodrigues also celebrated his comeback after the three-game ban had expired. The 18-year-old midfielder Atalay Babacan (33) scored his first goal in his first professional game before Martin Linnes (50) raised the score to 2-0 shortly after the restart. The underachieving host hoped in vain for the sensation in front of the 3,500 fans and could only score the following goal with Ziya Sakar (51). In the second leg of the second leg, the third-league team will need a medium-heavy football miracle at the Türk Telekom Stadium in two weeks' time to reach the round of sixteen.
