The Turkish league leaders hosted rivals Besiktas at Rams park for the 1st Istanbul derby of the season, and Okan Buruk's side clinched the bragging rights thanks to Osimhen’s strike.

Davidson Sanchez gave the Cim-Bom an early lead, and Osimhen doubled the advantage a little over the hour mark. Ernest Muci pulled one back in the 94th minute, but it was far too late to spark a comeback, effectively making Osimhen's 67th minute goal the winner.
