Tottenham changed the atmosphere at once. In the 19th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min received the ball from the left. He fell in the contest with the defender, but Gray immediately took over the play. Gray handed it over to Johnson correctly, and Johnson sent it back to Rankshire at the gate. Rankshire nudged it into the empty net.
Tottenham is in a big crisis. In the 25th minute of the first half, Osimhen accurately penetrated between the defense lines. Osimhen's shot was blocked in a one-on-one opportunity with Foster. Tottenham escaped the crisis as even the second shot missed.
Tottenham gave up another run. In the 30th minute of the first half, he easily lost ball possession again this time. A cross came up towards the penetrating Osimhen, who finished. However, the score was canceled because it was offside.

Eventually, Osimhen became the fixer. He got another chance a minute after swallowing his disappointment with offside. Dragushin lost the ball to Icardi. The pass was immediately passed to Osimhen, and this time Osimhen was not offside. Tottenham's mistakes are being made one after another.
Tottenham's rear didn't come to its senses. He was also under pressure in the 38th minute of the first half. For a moment, I missed Osimhen's move again. Osimhen failed to cross the poster in a one-on-one opportunity. Tottenham was robbed by Osimhen. A fantastic cross came up for Osimhen in the 39th minute of the first half, and Osimhen neatly pushed it in. Tottenham managed to finish their worst first half.

Son Heung-min did not come out in the second half. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou decided to manage Son Heung-min like he did against Aston Villa last time. Dejan Kulusevski came in.
Tottenham's defense was not stable even in the second half. In the third minute of the second half, Foster faced another major crisis when he missed an ordinary ball from a free kick. If Bentancur failed to block himself, it would have been a loss. In the fourth minute of the second half, Mertens sent Akguin exactly from a corner kick. Dragushin blocked Akguin's cannonball shot with his head.
Tottenham are not under control at all. In the 6th minute of the second half, he also missed Osimhen on the counterattack. Osimhen led Mertens' cross to the header, but headed to the sky. Tottenham's rear, especially Dragusin, failed to take the lead at all as he failed to keep his head under pressure.
It was Oshimen again. Ilmaz momentarily penetrated in the 11th minute of the second half and delivered it to Osimhen. Osimhen's decisive shot was caught in Foster's foot.

Tottenham created a direct shot opportunity in the 13th minute of the second half of the attack after Porro's long pass and Rankshire received it and showed their teamwork with Kulusevski, but they were blocked by the goalkeeper.
There was an accident at Tottenham. In the 15th minute of the second half, Rankshire, who had already been warned, was forced to tackle and went out of the stadium as it was after receiving a second warning. Postecoglou left out Madison and Beribal, and added Pape Matar Sarr and Dominic Solanke.
Tottenham faced a series of run-scoring crises. Foster managed to block Akguin's cannonball shot from a corner kick in the 17th minute of the second half.

Tottenham fought back with 10 players. In the 24th minute of the second half, Kulusevski pushed the prisoner into the space, and Solanke finished the prisoner's cross with a sensational backheel.
The score was 2 to 3, but the number of shots was 3 to 27. It was Tottenham, which was fortunate that there was no disaster. Tottenham held out well with 10 players, but there were not enough numbers to score an equalizer. In the end, Tottenham was scolded by Galatasaray as the match ended as it was.
