Spoils were shared in the table-topping six-pointer between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.
Given the refereeing controversy that has rifted Turkish football and the ceaseless exchange of words between both clubs, the derby fixture between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce threatened to boil over, evident in the police presence on the day.
The outcome, however, was an anticlimactic goalless draw, with only cards to count for both sides. Even the seven yellow cards shown by Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic were underwhelming given the context of the fixture. Putting it into perspective, the first leg saw nine yellow cards distributed, as the last fixture at Rams Park had 11, with one turning into red.

Victor Osimhen will lead Galatasaray in a fierce battle against bitter rivals Fenerbahce and their enigmatic manager Jose Mourinho, but the Lions boss has demanded for unity and fairness.
Victor Osimhen was silenced for most of the encounter and Galatasaray offered next to nothing in attack, generating only 1.12 xG. Jose Mourinho’s Yellow Canaries offered all the excitement and even had a goal ruled out. While they had less of the ball, Fenerbache generated 1.53 xG.
