Galatasaray lead Fenerbahçe 2-0 at half-time in Istanbul derby

Galatasaray lead Fenerbahçe 2-0 in their Süper Lig derby at RAMS Park in Istanbul.

Victor Osimhen scored in the 29th minute, then added a second in the 43rd after a touch on Davinson Sánchez’s shot.

The match is in its second half, and Galatasaray goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır denied Fenerbahçe a goal in a one-on-one chance shortly after the break.

The derby is a league match between fierce rivals, not a championship decider, as Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk noted before kickoff.

Galatasaray began the round top of the table with 19 points, while Fenerbahçe were third with 16.

The result could affect the title race, with the teams competing near the top of the league.

Play is continuing, and the final result is not yet known.

Our whole game plan is built around winning, but if that does not happen, we want to return to Kadıköy without losing.
