Israeli footballer Dia Saba scored a stunning free-kick goal for his team, Adanaspor, during their heated top-of-the-table clash against Galatasaray in the Turkish League on Saturday. Despite Saba's impressive effort, Adanaspor ultimately lost the match 4-3 to league leaders Galatasaray, who extended their lead at the top of the standings. Galatasaray had built a commanding 3-0 lead by the 59th minute. Saba initiated Adanaspor's comeback attempt in the 62nd minute, curling a free-kick into the net off the post to make it 3-1. Gift Orban further reduced the deficit to 3-2 just three minutes later. However, Barış Yılmaz restored Galatasaray's two-goal advantage in the 80th minute.
