Mauro Icardi scored as he made it seven goals in six matches for Galatasaray.

Icardi continues his great goal scoring run, now scoring in six consecutive matches. The 30 year old did make headlines before scoring the first goal of the match as he missed a clear opportunity to score.

Galatasaray were awarded a penalty kick and they decided to do a penalty similar to the one the late Johan Cruyff did decades ago. The one which was replicated by Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez when Messi took the penalty but instead of kicking the ball, he passed it to Suarez and scored.

Icard was the one who received the pass for the penalty but his effort went wide of the goal. But he would score the first goal of the match.

The Argentine received the ball inside the penalty area and with players in front of him, controlled the ball and placed it towards the side of the goal to give Galatasaray the 1-0 lead.

Gerardo Tata Martino spoke about Lionel Messi’s injury and possibly playing against Houston Dynamo in the U.S Open Cup final.

All eyes and ears have been on Lionel Messi and his fitness levels ahead of Inter Miami’s U.S Open Cup final on Wednesday. Messi was substituted out last week against Toronto FC and Martino was asked about Messi’s fitness on Tuesday.

Martino spoke at a press conference on Tuesday morning and here is what he had to say about Lionel Messi:

“We imagine that he doesn’t want to miss the very important final. In this case, yes I will sit down with him to see what his feelings are… Here there are three questions: first the player, then the final, and then what comes next.

“We will wait until tomorrow. Jordi Alba, it’s difficult, but with Leo we will wait until the last moment to see the resolution we take.”

The Inter Miami coach went on to speak about how it could play a role in ticket sales:

“I have to give info that could change the opponent’s game plan. Why should I give that info if I can keep it to myself? I know that goes against people’s interests as to buy tickets or not, but we have to prioritize things as they are, and what we want is to win the game.

“He doesn’t need surgery or anything like that. It’s just a matter of how much time the player needs to rest in order to play the next game. If it wasn’t a final, we wouldn’t take any risks. But because it’s a final, there is a chance we take that risk.”
