Fenerbahçe claimed a 2-0 victory against Galatasaray in the Turkish Süper Lig match also known as the "Intercontinental Derby" on Sunday.

Miha Zajc opened the score in the 26th minute and the first half ended 1-0 at the Şükrü Saraçoğlu Stadium in Istanbul.

Fenerbahçe made it 2-0 with Serdar Dursun's goal in the 68th minute and the match ended 2-0.

Fenerbahçe is now placed second with 59 points, while Galatasaray is in the 14th spot with 41 points in the Süper Lig standings.

A win was crucial for third-placed Fenerbahçe to resume trailing runner-up Konyaspor and grab the second ticket to the Champions League.

Fenerbahçe had no missing players except for midfielders Mesut Özil and Ozan Tufan, who were dropped from the squad in late February.
