Football: Galatasaray, Fenerbahce draw 2-2

Galatasaray and Fenerbahce brought a derby football match to a 2-2 draw in Turkey's top-tier Spor Toto Super Lig on Friday.

The teams met for the 388th time in Galatasaray's Turk Telekom Stadium in Istanbul.

Galatasaray dominated the fist half with Ryan Donk scoring the first goal of the match on the 31st minute. The first half ended 1-0.

The Lions began the second half with a goal by Martin Linnes to bring the score to 2-0.

The Yellow Canaries made a comeback to draw the match.

Fenerbahce scored their first goal with penalty shot by Valbuena in the 66th minute and second goal by Jailson in the 72nd minute.

In the first half, Fenerbahce fans left the stadium after a fan died of a heart attack.

On Sunday, Fenerbahce sacked its Dutch manager Phillip Cocu after a 3-1 loss to Ankaragucu.

Cocu was Fenerbahce's 72nd manager and the 38th foreign manager to take over managerial duties at the club.
