Galatasaray beat Fenerbahce 2-1 in derby, post-match brawl

In Week 9 of the Trendyol Super Lig, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce met at RAMS Park. Galatasaray won the match 2-1 and, with this victory, kept their place at the top of the table. Fenerbahce finished 6 points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Victor Osimhen scored both of Galatasaray's goals in the first half. Fenerbahce's only goal came in the second half from Irfan Can Kahveci. Kahveci's volley was one of the most eye-catching moments of the match. A Lukaku shot that Lemina cleared off the line also helped the home side keep their lead.

International press focused on what happened after the final whistle more than on the score or the play. An argument that started between Kerem Akturkoglu and Sallai was followed by mutual punches in several parts of the pitch. The footage appeared on many foreign broadcasters.

With this result, Galatasaray stand alone at the top of the league table. For Fenerbahce, the weekend result showed that the chase for the title has become harder.
