From the opening minutes, Galatasaray sought to dominate play in Trabzonspor’s half. The first dangerous opportunity occurred in the 2nd minute. Following a cross by Eren Elmalı, Victor Osimhen headed the ball toward the opposite flank where it fell to Yunus Akgün, whose shot went out of play.

In the 5th minute, Galatasaray scored their first goal. The ball remained unchallenged by Trabzonspor’s defense near the penalty area, where it arrived at Osimhen’s feet. Osimhen passed to Yunus Akgün on the right flank, who delivered a low cross to Barış Alper Yılmaz, who finished from inside the six-yard box.

In the 13th minute, Trabzonspor had a chance to equalize through a shot by Zubkov, but the ball struck the post and went out.

In the 25th minute, a header by Ozan Tufan from a cross by Malheiro narrowly missed the target.

In the 31st minute, Trabzonspor tested Galatasaray’s goal with efforts from Banza and Ozan Tufan, but Galatasaray goalkeeper Günay Güvenç saved Tufan’s shot to prevent a goal.

Galatasaray started the second half with greater intensity. In the 46th minute, Victor Osimhen received a pass from Yunus Akgün inside the penalty area, turned to face the goal, and scored with a powerful shot, doubling the lead.

In the 44th minute, Trabzonspor suffered a significant setback during a substitution. Arseniy Batagov collapsed on the field after a non-contact injury and was unable to continue. He was replaced by John Lundstram, forcing Trabzonspor to reorganize their midfield.

For Galatasaray, Victor Osimhen drew attention with two goals in the final. With these goals, Osimhen reached a total of 35 goals for the season, becoming the new record holder for the most goals scored in a single season by a foreign player in Türkiye. The previous record of 34 goals was held by Mario Jardel.

Yunus Akgün provided assists on all three goals in the final, establishing himself as one of the most influential attacking players for his team.

Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk won the Turkey Cup for the second time with this victory. He previously achieved the same feat with Akhisarspor in the 2017-2018 season.

Trabzonspor head coach Fatih Tekke, following this defeat, was unable to secure European qualification for his team. Trabzonspor would have earned a place in the UEFA Europa League had they won the cup, but this objective was not achieved.

With this cup win, Galatasaray maintained its position as the most successful club in the history of the Turkey Cup. Having lifted the trophy for the 19th time, Galatasaray has further expanded its collection of domestic honors.

Following the final match, the Turkish Football Federation held a trophy ceremony, officially concluding the 2024-2025 Turkey Cup competition.
