Bright Osayi-Samuel was a key figure for Fenerbahce as they beat rivals Galatasaray, 1-0, in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday.

Osayi-Samuel played the entire 90 minutes in his 22nd league appearance of the season, completing 12 passes, won 2 tackles and gave a foul.

The match was critical for Fenerbahce, who needed a win to maintain their title hopes, and the team’s prospects seemed bleak when Ghanaian defender Alexander Djiku was sent off in the 21st minute.

Despite this setback, Fenerbahce seized the lead in the 71st minute with a goal from Caglar Soyuncu.

Victory on Sunday brought The Yellow Canaries’ tally to 96points, just three shy of leaders Galatasaray.

As the league heads into its final fixtures next Sunday, the title race remains open.

Fenerbahce must secure a decisive victory over Istanbulspor and hope that Galatasaray falter against Konyaspor.

Both teams have already guaranteed their spots in the next season’s UEFA Champions League, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the closing matches.
