Lions draw Konyaspor 1-1 at home in metropolis of Istanbul

Reigning champs Galatasaray drew Konyaspor 1-1 in the second match day of the Turkish football league on Sunday.

At Turk Telekom Stadium in Istanbul, Konyaspor's last-minute goal came as a shock to Galatasaray.

Galatasaray's Ryan Babel scored the opening goal in the 60th minute, while Konyaspor responded with a goal by Jens Jonsson during stoppage time.

The Lions' Jean Michael Seri got a red card in the 74th minute.

In the first week of the season, Istanbul powerhouse Galatasaray were beaten by Denizlispor 2-0.


Galatasaray will compete in the UEFA Champions League this season.

In today's other matches, Trabzonspor beat Yeni Malatyaspor 2-1, while Caykur Rizespor defeated Demir Grup Sivasspor 2-1 and Denizlispor beat Antalyaspor 2-0.

On Thursday, Trabzonspor will face Greece's AEK Athens in the second-leg match of the UEFA Europa League playoffs.

Trabzonspor beat AEK Athens 3-1 in the first-leg match last Thursday to gain advantage with striker Ekuban's hat-trick in Athens to advance to the group stage before the second-leg match at home.


On Saturday, Istanbul's top-tier Fenerbahce defeated last year's runner-up Medipol Basaksehir 2-1 in Turkey's Super Lig.

With two wins in the first two matches, Fenerbahce are at the top of the league with 6 points.
