Akturkoglu wreaks havoc again and settles derby against former Benfica man | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe secured an important victory in the Istanbul derby against Besiktas, settled only in stoppage time. The match was marked by balance and few clear chances. The decisive moment came in added time, at the feet of Kerem Akturkoglu.

The game remained undecided until the final moments. However, in the 11th minute of stoppage time, a penalty was awarded. Akturkoglu took responsibility and converted successfully. The goal secured Fenerbahçe’s win against Orkun Kokçu’s team - who could leave in this summer transfer window.

With this triumph, the Eurasian side moved closer to leaders Galatasaray, now sitting just one point behind. Besiktas remain in fourth place and drift further away from the Champions League spots. Akturkoglu had already sealed Turkey’s qualification for the World Cup.

Kerem Aktürkoğlu — currently valued at €22 million — has been one of the standout performers for the Istanbul club.
