In the 25th week of the Turkish Super Lig, Galatasaray hosted Fenerbahce at their home ground, RAMS Park. The highly anticipated derby ended in a disappointing goalless draw, with both teams failing to find the back of the net. As a result, Galatasaray maintained their 6-point lead over their arch-rivals, Fenerbahce.
The match saw several key moments, including a disallowed goal by Fenerbahce's Oguz Aydin due to a foul on Galatasaray's goalkeeper, Fernando Muslera.
Both teams had their chances, but neither could capitalize. Notable performances included Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen and Fenerbahce's Youssef En-Nesyri, who both came close to scoring.
Galatasaray's next fixture will be an away game against Kasimpasa, while Fenerbahce will host Antalyaspor.
