With a better B-team, Galatasaray have made a decisive lead over second division club Boluspor in the first leg of the cup round of sixteen. Fatih Terim's side, who were also suspended from the stands to watch the match, won the Atatürk Stadium duel 1-0 with a penalty from Selcuk Inan (42). The penalty was preceded by a foul on Sinan Gümüs, which could only be punished with video evidence. The spectators in Bolu saw an uneventful encounter. First and foremost, the favourite from Istanbul held back discreetly against the underdog and in the end could be happy to have finished the match without conceding a goal. Before the return leg next week in the Türk Telekom Stadium, the Turkish record champions now have their own hands on their way to the quarter-finals. Due to heavy snowfalls, the first leg match was cancelled last week and postponed to this weeks Tuesday.
