Super Falcons defender Glory Ogbonna delivered a standout performance as Besiktas defeated rivals Galatasaray 1-0 in a closely contested Turkish Women’s Football League match.

Ogbonna, who played the full 90 minutes, was instrumental in Besiktas’ defensive setup, helping her side secure a crucial win over fellow Nigerians Tosin Demehin and Flourish Sebastien. Demehin also played the entire match for Galatasaray, while Sebastien, a recent addition to the team, was substituted at the start of the second half.

The decisive goal came in the 48th minute, courtesy of Donjeta Halilaj, giving Besiktas the edge needed to claim all three points. Ogbonna has been a reliable presence for Besiktas, featuring in every league match this season, and her leadership at the back proved invaluable in this intense derby.

With this victory, Besiktas climbs to third place in the league standings with 16 points, trailing only Fenerbahçe and Fomget GSK.
