Oluwatosin Demehin delivers decisive derby goal for Galatasaray as Ezekiel scores in Racing Power defeat
Oluwatosin Demehin delivered a late decisive moment as Galatasaray Women completed a dramatic derby comeback, while Motunrayo Ezekiel also found the net in a separate but frustrating outing for Racing Power in Portugal.
The Nigerian duo continued their strong form in Europe, producing standout moments in two different leagues on a busy weekend for Super Falcons players abroad.
Oluwatosin Demehin delivers decisive goal in Galatasaray derby
Oluwatosin Demehin was the hero in Istanbul as Galatasaray Women fought back to beat Fenerbahçe Women 3-2 in a tense Turkish Women’s Super League clash.
The Super Falcons defender, who started at the back, made a huge impact in the closing stages of the match.
With Galatasaray trailing 2-1 late on, she stepped up with a well-taken finish to level the game and shift momentum back to the hosts.
The match had swung back and forth. Galatasaray took an early lead through a free kick, but Fenerbahçe responded strongly before halftime and even went ahead early in the second half.
Despite the pressure, Galatasaray stayed in the contest and were rewarded for their persistence.
Shortly after Demehin’s equaliser, Divine Manga scored the winning goal to seal a dramatic victory at the Florya Metin Oktay Facilities.
The result marked Fenerbahçe Women’s first league defeat of the season and underlined Galatasaray Women’s fighting spirit in the title race.
Ezekiel scores but Racing Power fall short
In Portugal, Motunrayo Ezekiel also made her mark in the Campeonato Nacional Feminino, but her goal was not enough to save Racing Power from defeat against Torreense.
The Super Falcons forward came off the bench and scored in the second half after her team had already fallen two goals behind. Her strike, her fourth of the season, gave Racing hope of a comeback after a slow start.
Torreense had taken control early, scoring inside 15 minutes and doubling their lead shortly after the restart.
Ezekiel responded quickly to reduce the deficit, but Racing Power could not find an equaliser before full-time.
The result leaves Racing Power still fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone with just a few matches left in the season.
