Man United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his Besiktas team claimed all bragging rights against Victor Osimhen and his Galatasaray teammates in a tense derby.
Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer masterminded a stunning upset in the Istanbul derby, leading Besiktas to a 2-1 victory over rivals Galatasaray and halting their unbeaten streak in dramatic fashion.
The clash, marked by high tension and two red cards, saw Solskjaer outwit Nigeria’s in-form striker Victor Osimhen, who had been a scoring machine with nine goals in his last five appearances for club and country.

'I am a big fan' — Man Utd legend tells Amorim to forget other strikers and go for Victor Osimhen
Manchester United have been urged to sign Nigerian goal machine Victor Osimhen this summer.
The match was explosive from the start. Galatasaray were reduced to ten men in the first half after a contentious red card, but Besiktas couldn’t rest easy as they too finished the game a man down, with a red card in added time leveling the numbers.
Despite the chaos, Solskjaer’s tactical nous shone through as he expertly neutralised Osimhen, keeping the Galatasaray talisman quiet for the full 90 minutes.
)
Besiktas owe their triumph to a vintage performance from Joao Mario, who turned back the clock with two pinpoint assists.
Rafa Silva opened the scoring before Gedson Fernandes sealed the deal, handing Besiktas a 2-1 win that sparked wild celebrations among the home fans.
)
Galatasaray managed a stunning consolation goal, but it wasn’t enough to salvage their proud unbeaten run.
Osimhen, fresh off a scintillating international break where he netted three goals in two games for Nigeria’s Super Eagles, came into the derby as the man to watch.
)
Yet Solskjaer, drawing on his experience from Old Trafford, devised a game plan that shackled the prolific forward, proving once again his knack for big-game management.
The result not only gives Besiktas bragging rights in Istanbul but could have seismic implications for the Turkish Super Lig title race.
)
Galatasaray’s slip has opened the door for Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce, who sit just six points behind with a game in hand, threatening to turn the championship battle into a three-horse race.
For Solskjaer, this victory is a statement of intent, blending his trademark resilience with a touch of flair.
