The 2026-2027 Trendyol Süper Lig season commenced with several high-scoring matches. Defending champions Galatasaray opened their campaign at RAMS Park with a 2-2 draw against newly promoted Çorum FK. Victor Osimhen scored twice for Galatasaray, including a 90th-minute equalizer, after the team trailed 2-1. The match also featured a red card for Çorum FK’s Alexandros Kyziridis. In another opening week fixture at the 19 Mayıs Stadium, Samsunspor and Göztepe played to a 3-3 draw. Göztepe took an early lead in the 3rd minute through Alex Matos, but Samsunspor responded with a Marius Mouandilmadji penalty in the 30th minute and an Emre Kılınç goal in the 43rd minute to lead 2-1 at halftime. In the second half, Sinclair Armstrong equalized for Göztepe in the 46th minute. After Mouandilmadji missed a second penalty for Samsunspor in the 58th minute, which hit the crossbar, Efkan Bekiroğlu put Göztepe ahead 3-2 in the 65th minute. Samsunspor secured the draw in the 90th minute when Celil Yüksel scored from outside the box. Following the match, Samsunspor manager Thorsten Fink described the result as a deserved draw, noting that while the team made mistakes, they must learn from them. Göztepe manager Stanimir Stoilov expressed dissatisfaction with conceding three goals, stating it was ‘not normal for a team with their defensive profile,’ and further criticized a penalty decision involving an 18-year-old player. Other opening week results include Beşiktaş securing a 1-0 victory over Eyüpspor, while Amed Sportif Faaliyetler leads the standings following a 3-0 win against Erzurumspor FK. Following the conclusion of the opening week, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) referred 13 clubs to the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) for various violations. These include field incidents, improper spectator management, and ‘ugly and bad chanting.’ Notable referrals include Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, Trabzonspor, and Amed Sportif Faaliyetler.
