Super Falcons defender, Glory Ogbonna played a key role as Besiktas edged out fierce rivals Galatasaray in the Turkish Women’s Football League.
The defender who was on for 90mins showed charisma in her role as she helped her side secure a crucial 1-0 victory against her compatriots, Tosin Demehin and Flourish Sebastien.
Tosin Demehin saw 90 minutes of action for Galatasaray while new signing, Flourish Sebastien was substituted at the start of the second half.
Donjeta Halilaj’s 48th minute strike was all the home side needed to secure maximum points.
Besiktas’ stalwart, Ogbonna has so far played in all of the team’s league games this season.
The win holds special significance for Besiktas as they are now third on the log with 16 points behind Fenerbahçe and Fomget GSK.
