Exciting Istanbul Derby
Fenerbahçe beats Beşiktaş with 90+11 golden penalty
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Tonight in the Kadıköy neighborhood, on the Asian coast of the Bosphorus, a story was written that will be talked about in Istanbul's coffee houses for years to come. Considering that Galatasaray had tasted defeat in Trabzon, Domenico Tedesco's students knew tonight that winning the derby against Beşiktaş was not just a prestige advantage, but also an official return to the hot course of the championship. The game started with ferocious attacks from Fenerbahce, and it only took 30 seconds for Nene to make the fans sigh in a one-on-one situation and shoot the ball out. However, Besiktas did not back down and, relying on the genius of Orkun Koccu and the running of Olaytan, repeatedly went to the brink of collapse of Ederson's goal. If it were not for the brilliance of the Brazilian goalkeeper and the dedication of Osterwolde, the fate of the game might have been decided in the first half.
The first half was accompanied by bitter news for Fenerbahce; Marco Asensio, the team's Spanish magician, left the field in the 24th minute due to a serious injury and Fred entered the field.
In the second half, the pressure from the stands and Fenerbahce's thirst for victory reached its peak. In the 56th minute, Guendouzi's cross was deflected into the Besiktas goal by a fatal mistake by Gökhan Sazdağı (who had come on for the injured Murillo), but VAR ruled Nene offside, delaying the celebrations in Kadıköy. Besiktas goalkeeper Ersin Dastanoğlu was in a world-class performance tonight, single-handedly blocking the Canaries' relentless attacks with a powerful save from Talisca and Kerem Akturkoğlu.
The final minutes of the match were literally breathless. As the fourth official's scoreboard showed 8 minutes of added time, the stadium exploded in the 90th minute +7. Guendouzi's long, crossed pass behind the defence put Nene in a position to escape, but Agbado's foul from behind convinced Yassin Kol to point to the penalty spot. After much struggle and endless protests from Beşiktaş players, Kerem Akturkoğlu finally stood behind the ball in the 90th minute + 11. The Fenerbahçe international star, with exemplary composure, sent the ball into the corner of the goal so that Ersin Dastanoğlu, despite recognizing the direction of the ball, could not prevent this dramatic victory.
This home victory brought Fenerbahçe back to second place in the Turkish Super League table, reducing the gap to the top of the table at the most critical point of the season. Tedesco and his players are now welcoming the final weeks with double morale, while Beşiktaş left Kadıköy empty-handed despite a courageous game. Tonight proved that in the Istanbul derby, time is just a number and you should not despair of the magic of the green rectangle until the last second. The Canaries have spread their wings again to fly towards the championship trophy and victory over their long-time rival was the best fuel for this difficult path. Tonight, Kadikoy will stay awake until dawn to savor the sweet taste of this last-minute victory.
