Suwen Süper Lig results: Galatasaray go top as Fenerbahçe’s eight-goal response sets up derby week Six clubs are separated by just three points at the top of Türkiye’s Süper Lig after a week in which Beşiktaş lost first place, Galatasaray moved ahead and defending champions Fenerbahçe responded to a European defeat with eight goals. Galatasaray lead, but Fenerbahçe are just two points behind with two games in hand. The sides meet next before Fenerbahçe attempt to overturn a 2–0 defeat against Spain’s Real Sociedad in the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup. The Turkish Süper Lig has six clubs separated by three points, but its most consequential number may be the two matches Fenerbahçe have in hand on the top two. Galatasaray recover to take top spot Turkish Süper Lig Standings Top six · 2 November 2026 Fenerbahçe have two games in hand. Galatasaray were minutes away from taking maximum points from their midweek trip to Yüksekova. Leading through a 57th-minute goal, they conceded a late penalty for handball that their players disputed. The match finished 1–1. Against Ünye, their response came before half-time. Galatasaray opened the scoring from the penalty spot, conceded an equaliser in the 27th minute and regained the lead through Melike Pekel’s fifth goal of the season. Cristina Martín-Prieto headed in the third in first-half stoppage time, taking her league-leading tally to 16 goals and sealing a 3–1 win that put Galatasaray on 21 points. Fenerbahçe’s openings and their deficit Before their domestic trip to Giresun, Fenerbahçe had travelled to San Sebastián, where their chances came before Real Sociedad’s goals. Andrea Stašková put the ball in the net in the 14th minute but was flagged offside. She ran behind the defence again 10 minutes later and was denied by the goalkeeper. Fenerbahçe reached half-time level, but Maren Lezeta headed Real Sociedad ahead from a corner before Ainhoa Marín doubled their lead. Maria Alves was sent off late on. The 2–0 defeat leaves a demanding but recoverable deficit. Gökhan Bozkaya’s side must win the November 11 return by two goals to force extra time, or by three or more to progress outright. Stašková had found space behind the Basque defence, but Fenerbahçe failed to turn those openings into goals. Taking those chances becomes more urgent in Istanbul, where every concession would increase the number of goals Fenerbahçe need. Seven changes, eight goals Bozkaya had little preparation time for the domestic assignment between the European legs. His squad flew back on Thursday, trained lightly on Friday and travelled to Giresun on Saturday for the weekend fixture. He changed seven starters. Giresun also fielded an altered side, introducing several new signings after a transfer ban was lifted. For 45 minutes, they kept the champions out. Then Stašková converted a 49th-minute penalty. Mesude Alayont entered in the 61st minute and almost immediately headed in Zsanett Kaján’s corner. She finished with a hat-trick, completing it with a long-range strike in the 87th minute. Stašková added a second of her own. All eight goals came after the interval. Alayont’s contribution from the bench helped turn a heavily rotated selection into a comfortable victory. Beşiktaş’s clean sheets are not enough Beşiktaş entered the midweek fixtures as leaders, having scored 19 goals and conceded five in seven matches. Successive 0–0 draws against Hakkarigücü and Trabzonspor left both totals unchanged. Two points from six allowed Galatasaray past. Beşiktaş’s defence kept them close to the summit; their failure to score surrendered it. Trabzonspor, who had beaten Amed 4–0 in midweek, also held Beşiktaş scoreless. Hakkarigücü followed their midweek point in Istanbul with a 2–0 weekend win over Şile. Before the two fixtures, they had scored only 12 goals, the fewest among the top seven, but had lost just once, 1–0 to FOMGET. Hakkarigücü ended the week three points off the lead: less prolific than their rivals, but still close enough to capitalise on their mistakes. 16 goals for FOMGET, five defeats for Amed Ankara club FOMGET kept pace with two wins and 16 unanswered goals: 12–0 at Şile, then 4–0 against Antalyaspor. Armisa Kuč scored twice against Antalyaspor.

Against the visitors from the capital, there was no recovery. Sultanbeyli responded to the draw with a 1–0 win over Amed, secured by a 64th-minute goal. Amed were second after four rounds with nine points. Five consecutive defeats later, they remain on nine. Promoted Kayseri reached 12 points from eight matches with a 2–1 win over Haymana. Laurie-Ann Moïse’s six league goals have helped establish their foothold. Fenerbahçe’s eight-goal response showed the value of their squad depth. The next two matches, against Galatasaray and Real Sociedad, will provide a much sterner test of whether they can compete successfully on both fronts.
