Nigeria’s Henry Onyekuru’s strike completed Galatasaray’s 3-1 comeback victory against Fenerbahce in Sunday’s Intercontinental derby.
Goals from Ryan Donk, Radamel Falcao and Onyekuru secured maximum points for Fatih Terim’s men after trailing in the first 40 minutes.
The stoppage-time goal was the Nigerian’s first strike for Galatasaray since his return from loan from Monaco in January.
Onyekuru was in action for 90 minutes in the tense encounter which saw Morocco’s Younes Belhanda, Fenerbahce coach Ersun Yanal and midfielder Deniz Turuc sent off in the second half.
