Sports 10 January 2026

Fenerbahçe has done it! The Yellow Canaries soared to victory in the Turkcell Super Cup final, silencing their rivals Galatasaray with a commanding 2-0 win. The atmosphere at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium was electric, a fitting backdrop for this high-stakes derby.

Fenerbahçe STUNS Galatasaray! Super Cup WIN Sends ...

New signing Matteo Guendouzi certainly made an entrance, netting a goal in the 28th minute to give Fenerbahçe an early lead. Talk about making a statement! Then, early in the second half, Jayden Oosterwolde doubled the advantage in the 48th minute, essentially sealing the deal for Fenerbahçe. You could practically feel the momentum shift; Galatasaray looked deflated after that.

Guendouzi's debut goal undoubtedly injected a surge of fresh energy into the Fenerbahçe squad. And Oosterwolde's strike? Well, that was his first of the season! A bittersweet moment, however, as the Dutch defender was unfortunately forced off the pitch with an injury in the 81st minute. Here's hoping it's not too serious.

This Super Cup victory is Fenerbahçe's fourth overall, adding another trophy to their cabinet. They first tasted victory in this competition back in 2007, followed by wins in 2009 and 2014. And for Fenerbahçe fans, this win breaks a decade-long Super Cup drought – a reason to celebrate, indeed!

Interestingly, Fenerbahçe's history in these pre-season cup competitions is quite rich. Beyond the Super Cup, they also boast six Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası (Presidential Cup) titles. For those unfamiliar, this competition pitted the league champion against the Turkish Cup winner, running for over three decades. It's a testament to their consistent performance over the years.

Fenerbahçe President Sadettin Saran is certainly enjoying this win. It marks his first trophy in the men's football division since taking office back in September 2025. A good start to his tenure, you might say.

There were heartwarming moments off the pitch, too. Fenerbahçe fans, showing a touch of class, shared their raincoats – initially intended for themselves – with the security personnel and police officers working at the stadium. It's those small gestures that make a big difference.

For Galatasaray, this is a tough pill to swallow. It's their second consecutive Super Cup defeat at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium. Ouch. They suffered a heavy 5-0 loss against Beşiktaş in the 2024 Super Cup at the very same venue. History, it seems, has a way of repeating itself.

And to add insult to injury, this defeat marks Galatasaray's fourth loss in eight Super Cup encounters against Fenerbahçe since the competition's inception. A rivalry that continues to deliver drama and, in this case, disappointment for the Lions.
