Still undefeated in the league, Galatasaray scored a 10th victory in a row this Friday at the opening of the 11th day of the Süper Lig against Kasimpasa (2-1). A success which bears the seal of Wilfried Zaha, author of a double including a 25 meter missile.
Here’s who needs to boost his confidence. Mute in all competitions since October 3, and the victory against Manchester United (2-3) in the Champions League, Wilfried Zaha found the net this Friday evening at RAMS Park in Istanbul in style. After stealing the ball from his opponent, the Éléphants de Côte d’Ivoire striker (31 caps, 5 goals) opened the scoring for Cimbom with a long shot which found the right net. from the opposing goalkeeper (1-0, 33rd). A goal worthily celebrated with anger in front of the supporters.

Zaha and Ziyech spared for Bayern
Later in the second half, Zaha took advantage of a ball lying around in the area following a misunderstanding in the Apaches’ defense to finish with the flat foot and score the double (2-0, 51st). The former Red Devil thus brought his league total to three, more than a month after having opened his counter against Ankaragücü (2-1 victory on September 30). Eight minutes from the end of regulation time, he was replaced with a view to being spared for the trip to Bayern Munich next week, as part of the 4th day of the Champions League.
This match also marked the first start for Hakim Ziyech since his return to injury. Used sparingly by coach Okan Buruk, the Moroccan had in fact started the two previous matches on the bench. He notably came into play for the last quarter of an hour against Bayern Munich (1-3), during the 3rd day of LdC on October 24, then played the entire second half against Rizespor (0 -1) four days later in the championship. Like Zaha, he was saved for C1 (released in the 60th).
