On the evening of October 26, the Turkish League witnessed a heated atmosphere between two teams performing in the Turkish derby, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, as the match ended with Galatasaray winning 2-1, but the result was only the beginning of the intensification of the conflict inside and outside the field. Galatasaray achieved a decisive victory over its traditional harem thanks to a brilliant goal scored by a Nigerian striker named Victor Osimhen in the first half, giving the team the recognition it needed in the battle for top spot. In the second half, Fenerbahce tried to change the course of the match, achieving their only goal thanks to a brave goal by Lakhwaji in the 62nd minute, but they did not succeed in turning the score around.
After the final whistle, a mutual conflict broke out between the players of the two teams inside the green rectangle, as the players entered into an intense dialogue and sometimes started hitting each other. This event demonstrated the intensity of the rivalry between the two teams, as the match lost its sporting character and degenerated into an intense brawl, which angered fans and organizers alike. One observer noted that the scene was very chaotic, with players seen exchanging blows, raising the risk of serious injury.
It should be noted that Galatasaray showed an outstanding performance in this round, as they were able to maintain their superiority over Fenerbahce, which strengthens their position at the top of the table.
