Fenerbahçe SK reign victorious in the Derby of Istanbul
Spanning across two continents and years of bitter rivalry, the Intercontinental Derby (or Kitalararasi Derbi in Turkish) between Turkish powerhouses Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray is one of the most exciting football games in the world. A tale of social-classes and unrivalled passion, for their fans, this is no ordinary game but rather a battle for the rule over “the city that is older than time itself”.
The first game between the two clubs was played in 1909, but it wasn’t until their infamous clash in 1934 that the rivalry between the two sides was truly born. Nowadays, the biggest game in Turkish football attracts millions of viewers and brings out the raw passion and emotion of their supporters. Regardless of the stakes, you can always be certain that every match between the two teams will feel like a final!
Last weekend, fans were treated to the latest edition of the Derby of Istanbul - and what a game it was! Playing on opponent’s soil and being a man down, Fenerbahçe still managed to claw their way to one of their most remarkable victories of the season after a stoppage time winner from Miguel Crespo!
