Fenerbahce struggled to create attacks in the first half of the derby

Fenerbahce, who were away to Galatasaray in the 9th round of the Trendyol Super Lig, trailed 2-0 at half-time in the derby. The attacking statistics of the yellow-navy side in the first 45 minutes stood out.

Fenerbahce were ineffective in attack against the home side. The yellow-navy players did not get a shot on the opposition goal in the first half and failed to create a chance worth of an expected goal. The team also could not deliver an accurate cross.

Fenerbahce touched the ball only 3 times inside the opposition penalty area and won 1 corner in the first 45 minutes. The team's share of possession stayed at around 32 percent.

Galatasaray, on the other hand, looked far more threatening in attack in the first half. The yellow-red side fired 10 shots at the opposition goal, and Victor Osimhen scored from two of those attempts.

The home side closed the first half 2-0 ahead and, in addition to the scoreline, also had the upper hand over their opponents in the attacking statistics.
