Galatasaray 3-1 Bodø / Glimt: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Galatasaray 3-1 Bodø / Glimt in the Champions League on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Galatasaray put on a cracking performance at home, securing a 3-1 victory over Bodø / Glimt. The lads were on fire from the get-go, with goals in the 3rd, 33rd, and 60th minutes setting the tone. This result wasn't a shock, considering their recent form, including a solid 1-0 win against Liverpool. It's clear Galatasaray are hitting their stride at the right time, and this win extends their winning streak, showing they're a force to be reckoned with.

Bodø / Glimt, on the other hand, struggled to keep up with Galatasaray's pace. Despite a late goal in the 76th minute, it was too little too late. Coming off a draw against Tottenham, they might have hoped for more, but Galatasaray's early dominance set the stage for a tough night. Bodø / Glimt will need to regroup and find their rhythm if they want to climb back up the table.

The stats tell a tale of two teams with different approaches. Galatasaray, despite having only 38% possession, managed to outscore Bodø / Glimt, who had 62% of the ball. It's a testament to Galatasaray's efficiency in front of goal. The seven corners for Galatasaray compared to Bodø / Glimt's four also show they were more threatening from set pieces. Both teams had an equal number of yellow cards and successful dribbles, but it was Galatasaray's clinical finishing that made the difference.

Galatasaray's early goal in the 3rd minute set the tone for the match, putting Bodø / Glimt on the back foot right from the start. The second goal in the 33rd minute further solidified their lead, showing their intent to dominate. The third goal in the 60th minute was the icing on the cake, ensuring a comfortable victory. These moments were crucial, as they not only boosted Galatasaray's confidence but also made it an uphill battle for Bodø / Glimt.

Bodø / Glimt's only goal came late in the 76th minute, a glimmer of hope that ultimately didn't change the outcome. Despite the effort, it was too late to mount a comeback. This goal, while a positive note for Bodø / Glimt, highlighted their struggle to break through Galatasaray's defence earlier in the match. The key moments clearly favoured Galatasaray, who capitalised on their opportunities.

Galatasaray lined up in a 4-4-2 formation, with Victor Osimhen leading the line alongside Yunus Akgün. The midfield was anchored by Lucas Torreira and Mario Lemina, providing a solid base for the team. No real surprises in the lineup, but the impact of the substitutions was notable, with five changes made throughout the game. Osimhen's performance was standout, scoring two goals and proving to be a constant threat.

Bodø / Glimt opted for a 4-3-3 formation, with Jens Petter Hauge leading the attack. The midfield trio of Håkon Evjen, Patrick Berg, and Sondre Fet aimed to control the game, but struggled against Galatasaray's pressure. The lineup was as expected, but the five substitutions made during the match didn't have the desired impact. Hauge's late goal was a bright spot, but overall, the team couldn't find their rhythm.

Victor Osimhen is Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and rightly so. With two goals, one big chance created, and one key pass, he was the driving force behind Galatasaray's victory. His clinical finishing and ability to create opportunities for his teammates made him a standout performer on the pitch.
