Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce derby first half goes to Osimhen's goals

In Week 9 of the Super Lig, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce met in the big derby. The first half ended with the yellow-reds leading 2-0.

Galatasaray took the lead in the 29th minute. Victor Osimhen received the ball in the penalty area from a pass by Baris Alper Yilmaz and fired a firm, well-placed shot from the right-side angle into the near corner. The ball went into the net past the left of Ederson.

The yellow-reds doubled their lead in the 44th minute. Davinson Sanchez struck from outside the penalty area, and Osimhen followed up well on the ball that bounced off the ground, heading it powerfully from in front of the six-yard box. The ball found the net again past Ederson's right, and Osimhen scored his second goal for his team.

Both teams also stood out in the first half for their cards. Milan Skriniar was shown a yellow card after a challenge on the right flank, while Irfan Can Kahveci also received a yellow card after a similar tackle on the left.

The question now is how Fenerbahce will set up their play in the second half to close the gap.
