Beşiktaş and Galatasaray faced off in the 28th week of the Super Lig.

Galatasaray won the massive derby played at Tüpraş Stadium 1-0. With this result, the Yellow-Reds climbed back to the top of the league.

After the match, Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk evaluated the win for beIN Sports.

Stating that they had played 4 matches in the last 10 days, Buruk said, "A tired and depleted Galatasaray. All my players did their best. We held a meeting yesterday and had dinner together. We talked about our unity, our belief, and our debt to the fans. They concentrated well. We controlled the game well. We could have scored more goals in the second half. We gave away one or two chances. Winning 1-0 is important, winning without conceding a goal is important. Our opponent made moves in the second half. We didn't give away very clear chances. If we had finished correctly, we could have ended the game early."

RESPONSE TO FENERBAHÇE: 'NO ONE SHOULD TAKE OFFENSE...'

In the press conference, Buruk responded to Fenerbahçe's request for a foreign referee for the Super Cup.

"Fenerbahçe has had a request regarding a foreign referee. We don't know if there is a different thought or calculation behind it," said Buruk, adding, "We trust Turkish referees. We know that Turkish referees can do their best. Foreign referees are used in many places around the world. Sometimes Turkish referees are treated unfairly. After seeing the referees in the Champions League and Europa League, no one should take offense, but our Turkish referees are much better. They also need trust."
