In UEFA Europa League third qualifying round in the second leg match, Galatasaray defeated M.Netanya by scoring 6 goals with their superb play and they eliminated M.Netanya.

Galatasaray started to the match very quickly. In the second minute Aydın Yılmaz crossed from the left and Barış Özbek scored a goal with header. Then in the sixth minute, Aydın Yılmaz crossed from the left again but this time Kader Keita scored the second goal with a half-volley. *This goal was very important for Galatasaray because it was the 300th goal of Galatasaray in European competitions. Galatasaray was very effective and didn't let M.Netanya to find opportunities to score a goal. The first half ended 2-0.

At the beginning of the second half, in the 51th minute, Barış Özbek's header made the score 3-0. Five minutes later, Shabani Nonda, Galatasaray's striker scored with header. Aydın crossed from the right, Harry Kewell passed the ball to Nonda with head and then Nonda scored. In the 60th minute, Aydın Yılmaz dribbled with the ball from the right wing and passed the ball to Nonda. Nonda just touched the ball and scored his second, team's fifth goal. At the end of the match, in the 90th minute, this time Shabani Nonda scored the last goal of the match from free kick and made a hat-trick. The match ended 6-0.

Even though Galatasaray played with their substitutes, almost all the players were so effective and contributed to the team. They seemed very ready for the season. Actually M.Netanya was too weak and it was normal for Galatasaray to score goals very easily, but the players also played very well and dominated the whole match. Now, Galatasaray's squad has so many talented and utility players who have no adaptation problem and affect the score very easily. Of course some important players such as new transfer Elano, injured Mehmet Topal and other defence players will be playing in the next weeks as well. Galatasaray break a new record too. Once they won a match 5-0 against Neuchatel Xamax in a European competition in Ali Sami Yen (Galatasaray's stadium). Their record was that match that they won with 5-goal-difference. But the new record became this score, 6-0, against M.Netanya. Afterwards, Galatasaray will be participating the play-off rounds and Maccabi will be playing only in Israel League and Israel Cup.
