The derby clash between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray ended in a 3-1 victory for the visitors, Galatasaray. Galatasaray's offensive efficiency was evident in the first half with two early goals within the first thirty minutes, both scored through well-executed team play, capitalizing on Fenerbahce's defensive lapses. The early goals provided Galatasaray with the momentum needed to dictate the pace of the game.

Fenerbahce, while creating numerous opportunities with 10 corner kicks, struggled to convert these set pieces into goals. Their offensive attempts were hindered by poor finishing and miscommunication, as highlighted by 7 offside calls against them. Conversely, Galatasaray displayed superior conversion capability, making the most out of limited opportunities with only 2 corner kicks but managing to find the net three times.

Discipline played a significant role in defining the match tone, with Galatasaray accumulating six yellow cards. Their aggressive playstyle resulted in 18 fouls, disrupting Fenerbahce's attacking rhythm and limiting their creative plays. Despite their aggressive play, Galatasaray's ability to withstand the pressure and maintain their lead was crucial, especially after receiving multiple cautions in quick succession in the second half.

Fenerbahce's performance improved in the second half as they managed to score shortly after Galatasaray's third goal. However, their persistent challenges were not enough to change the outcome, largely due to their own unforced errors and the inability to break through Galatasaray's cohesive defensive setup effectively. This match underscored the importance of efficiency over opportunity, with Galatasaray making their chances count while Fenerbahce could not capitalize on their territorial advantage.
