Galatasaray 1-0 Fenerbahce: Podolski header settles Turkish Cup final

May 26, 2016 4:15:00 PM

The former Arsenal man swooped at the back post to score what proved to be the crucial goal of an intense clash, and the side stood firm to take the trophy.

Lukas Podolski's solitary goal was enough for Galatasaray to down its fierce Istanbul rival Fenerbahce on its way to a 1-0 Turkiye Kupasi final victory.

The Germany international guided home Jason Denayer's flick-on after half an hour to settle a final high on energy but low on quality, with Nani sent off following the final whistle after appearing to sarcastically applaud the referee.
