Galatasaray emerged from the Turkish Derby with a 3-0 win over Fenerbahçe that may prove decisive in the Süper Lig title race.
In a tense, physical match that felt like a final, Okan Buruk’s side made the key moments count.
Osimhen shifted the derby
The game could have started very differently when Anderson Talisca missed a penalty in the 13th minute.
That miss loomed large.
Soon after, Victor Osimhen took advantage of a chaotic sequence to open the scoring and change the match narrative.
Fenerbahçe threatened a response, but the post and missed chances denied them.
The red card changed everything
The decisive turning point came with Ederson Moraes’ red card.
From there, Baris Alper Yilmaz converted the penalty for 2-0 and the derby tilted fully.
Late on, Lucas Torreira punished a major goalkeeping mistake to complete the rout.
Galatasaray close in on the title
The win moved Galatasaray to 74 points, leaving Fenerbahçe on 67.
With only three matches left, the title is now within touching distance.
