The German winger, who joined Gala in the offseason, had a standout performance, scoring one goal and setting up another. His chemistry with ex-Manchester City teammate Ederson was evident as they both played key roles in the win.

Fenerbahçe's hopes of upsetting their city rivals were dealt a blow early on when talisman Talisca missed a penalty in the 12th minute. Gala's Victor Osimhen capitalized on the mistake, opening the scoring with a 40th-minute strike.

After the break, Ederson was shown a red card for spitting at the referee, reducing Fenerbahçe to 10 men. Baris Yilmaz doubled Gala's lead from the penalty spot in the 67th minute before Lucas Torreira sealed the victory with a third goal in the 83rd.

The win puts Gala seven points clear of Fenerbahçe with just three league games remaining, virtually guaranteeing their first title under German coach Domenico Tedesco. For Sané and his teammates, the triumph would be a sweet reward for a season that has been marked by ups and downs.
