We witnessed another edition of the Intercontinental Super Derby, the showdown that captivates all of Turkey. Fenerbahce and Galatasaray clashed for the 398th time in an intensely contested match that ended in a deadlock.

Both teams entered the Turkish Süper Lig as co-leaders, tied at 44 points, holding a 14-point advantage over the third-placed Trabzonspor. Adding to the stakes, the league's top scorers, Edin Dzeko and Mauro Icardi, led their respective teams with 12 goals each.

This duel, held on Christmas Eve at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, the home of Sari Kanarya, was fiercely contested, and neither side emerged victorious. The Süper Lig landscape remains open as we conclude 2023.

Fenerbahce and Galatasaray had several opportunities (six shots for the home team against eight for the visitors), yet between them, only a single shot on target was registered throughout the match.

In the Super Lig, both teams will resume action in January 2024, with Fenerbahce facing Istanbulspor, while Avrupa Fatihi hosts Konyaspor, concluding the first half of the championship.
