It is confirmed! Galatasaray wins Super Lig 2014 - 2015! But how did they get to the top of the podium? Up until the final weeks of competitive play, the 2014 2015 Turkish Super Lig was a real battle. Galatasaray SK, chasing their third national football title in four years, were putting the pressure on Fenerbahce, the reigning champions. Meanwhile, Besiktas remained possible spoilers for the majority of the 2014 2015 campaign, occasionally bumping Galatasaray or Fenerbahce into third place.
Ultimately, though, it was the wearers of the Galatasaray home jersey 2014 2015 who won the race. With a strong winning streak in the final month of competition-tarnished only slightly by a final-week draw with Caykur Rizespor, SK ended up reclaiming the Turkish Super Lig title. Fenerbahce settled for second, while the dark horse Besiktas football squad finished in third.
A Close RaceÂ
Now, Galatasaray fans are celebrating their club's first Super Lig win since 2012 2013. However, things easily could have gone differently, and SK could have easily ended up somewhere else on the podium.
Last year, Fenerbahce ran away with the Super Lig title, notching up 23 wins, five draws, and six loses. Galatasaray had fewer losses (five), but also fewer wins (18) and abundantly more draws. The two teams ultimately finished nine points apart, and Fenerbahce's victory was more or less a foregone conclusion.
This year, though, the outcome was anything but a foregone conclusion. The wearers of the Galatasaray soccer shirt started off the campaign strongly, with an away victory against Bursaspor. However, after a draw against Eskisehirspor in week two, and a loss at Balikesirspor in week three, the SK squad had tumbled to ninth place on the Super Lig table. It was unclear which direction their soccer season was going to take.
What followed was one of the most exciting and unpredictable Super Lig seasons in recent memory. Besiktas had the leg up first, not losing a match until late October, and then formulating a seven-game winning streak that lasted from November 9th to January 4th. The New Year brought a loss against Galatasaray, knocking Besiktas out of the lead and really beginning the race to the 2014 2015 Super Lig title.
From there on out, the season was a real roller coaster, who would win was anyone's guess, not just for fans in the Galatasaray home jersey 2014 2015, but also for Fenerbahce and Besiktas supporters. The three teams traded off the top spot regularly throughout the second half of the season, each holding the lead with streaks of strong wins, and then letting it go with unexpected losses or disappointing draws.
Galatasaray's Winning Streak
In the end, it was Galatasaray that peaked at the perfect time. In week 28, with a 1-0 home victory against Gaziantespor, the SK squad began their season-closing winning streak. Two weeks later, they dethroned Besiktas to take first place on the 2014 2015 Super Lig table-a spot they never left.
While Galatasaray were ultimately the only one of the three teams that failed to win their last match of the season, it didn't matter. The football club's six-game winning streak-which concluded in the penultimate week of the 2014 2015 campaign, with an at-home victory over Besiktas-secured the title for SK.
Still, the standings shook out to be pretty close. The wearers of the Galatasaray home jersey 2014 2015 came out on top-with a record of 24 wins, five draws, and five losses combining for a point total of 77. Fenerbahce finished just three points back, with 22 wins, eight draws, and four losses. Besiktas, meanwhile, imploded in the final month of competition, suffering two losses and two draws in May for a final point tally of 69.
Of course, these three teams were virtually alone at the top of the table. Fourth place was occupied by Istanbul Basaksehir, with a record of 15 wins, 14 draws, and five losses, and a point total of 59.
