Dominik Livakovic of Fenerbahce scored an own goal in the 20th minute to give Galatasaray the lead early on.

Galatasaray led 2-0 at the break thanks to a goal from Dries Mertens in the 28th minute.

Osimhen didn’t score, but his play as a whole showed that he could do more than just put the ball in the back of the net, which helped the team win.

Remember that Osimhen, who signed a loan from Napoli, contributed an assist in his debut game against Çaykur Rizespor last week?

Despite Mourinho’s tactical attempts, Fenerbahce’s chances of winning the derby were crushed as Galatasaray’s lead in the Super Lig table was cemented by the victory.

Turkiye Sports claims that Mourinho will probably consider his team’s defensive shortcomings and try to improve them in the next games.

Out of his four attempts on goal, the 25-year-old Nigerian international managed to hit the mark.

Mourinho had raised the ante on the African player prior to this epic derby by implying that he dives a lot.

Before joining Fenerbahce, Mourinho most recently served as the head coach of Roma in Serie A. “I don’t have problems with Victor,” Mourinho said to HT Spor.

We really get along great, in fact. However, I talk to him every time I play against him because I don’t like the way he acts. He takes too many dives.

“Look, you and Mohamed Salah are two of the best African players,” I told him.

“Previously, George Weah, Samuel Eto’o, and Didier Drogba. You are not allowed to act in this manner. He takes too many dives. The issue I have with him is that.

In terms of the cards, Galatasaray added a physical edge to their performance by receiving six yellow cards during the encounter as they attempted to contain Fenerbahçe’s advances.

One was owned by the losing home team.

This match demonstrated Galatasaray’s resilience under duress and ability to take advantage of pivotal moments, such as Osimhen’s vital assist.
