Background

According to the club of Galatasaray, they started the match with only six players since their players could not cross the Bosphorus by ferry due to a heavy storm. Emin Bülent Serdaroğlu could join the team after the match started. Galatasaray played with seven players ten minutes into the game. Fenerbahçe started the match with 10 players but finished the game with only 9 due to injuries. After the injury of Fenerbahçe's goalkeeper, the remaining players replaced each other to keep the goal post.[4] Since there is no coverage by neutral third-party sources about this match at all, any information about this game comes from the club of Galatasaray itself.

On 12 February 1911, Galatasaray achieved the team's highest Intercontinental Derby win beating Fenerbahçe 7–0. According to Galatasaray, four goals were scored by Celal İbrahim, two by Emin Bülent Serdaroğlu and one goal was scored by Idris. It is the highest goal difference in a football match between the two teams to date.

İdris, one of the goal scorers, was killed in the Tripolitanian War in October 1911. Likewise, the other scorer Celal İbrahim, who was also called Kürt Celal, was killed in the defense of Baghdad on March 21, 1917.[5]
