Both of Our İstanbul rivals has a banner of Our Founder Leader. Then don't we put a banner too? At the time Atatürk was very interested in Galatasaray High School, so maybe We can add something about that?
Today is the anniversary of one of the best Championship of all time's un-locking derby.
7th of May 2006.
2 Weeks ago We have been beaten by Fenerbahçe at Kadıköy 4-0 and lost leadership to FB because of Our 1-0 and 4-0 league losses against them.
They were in their prime. And last 2 seasons' Champions. Considering that FB had a new and much bigger stadium, star players like Alex-Anelka-Appieah etc., economicly rich and having media support, it wasn't looked like We had a chance to win the Championship.
On the other We couldn't manage to get a Championship since 2002. We were having so big financial problems that We couldn't even pay Our players' salaries. And our squad was much weaker compared to FB.
2 Weeks ago We have lost the leadership with a nightmare derby to them. And now: We are at the İnönü. If We wanted to make Our championship hopes live until the last game, We had to won this match.
At the first half, We have won a penalty because of a tackle Córdoba made to Ilic. But the ball slapped to left goalpost. And at the 51st minute, Tümer scored a goal with a nice shot from a narrow distance.
Maybe all hopes look lost now, but Eric Gerets made a very good substitiuon choice and at the 60th minute: Necati Ateş out, Hasan Kabze in.
First Hasan made a very good shot from the penalty area's line and the score is 1-1. But, that was not enough to make Galatasaray's Championship hopes live long enough to see the last match of the league.
Then, at the 90+3, when Beşiktaş fans chanting ''ZALAD GELSİN, SİZİ KURTARSIN'' ''MAY ZALAD COME AND SAVE YOU GUYS'' (Zalad is a goalkeeper who conceded 8 goals from Us in Our Championship match.) That moment from Hasan Kabze has come...
''Sabri... Hakan Şükür indirdi... HASAN KABZE! GOL! HASAN KABZE! HASAN KABZE TOPU AĞLARA GÖNDERİYOR. DURAKLAMA ANLARINDA HASAN KABZE, GECENİN FLAŞ İSMİ OLUYOR, ATTIĞI GOLLE TARAFTARINA KOŞUYOR. HASAN KABZE! GALATASARAY 2-1 ÖNDE! SON SANİYE, SON AN, VE SON GOL: HASAN KABZE!''
We have won the match 2-1 with 2 bangers from Hasan Kabze, and... rest is history. This victory was the key to unlock one of the best Championships ever.
''İnönü'de bir bahar akşamında, Cimbombomum Şampiyonluk yolunda, hatırlayın, ne oldu son dakikada? Hasan Kabze'yi unutma!''
27.04.2008 Galatasaray (Nonda) 1-0 Fenerbahçe
26.04.2026 Galatasaray (Osimhen, Barış, Torreira) 3-0 Fenerbahçe
He scored 2 goals to Trabzonspor and TS lost 3 points tonight. So... That means We just have to win 1 match to de declare our Championship! Kudos to You Berkan!
