The 1910–11 Istanbul Football League match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe at Union Club Field took place on Sunday 12 February 1911.
Background
Galatasaray SK started the match with only 6 players since their players could not cross the Bosphorus by ferry due to a heavy storm. Emin Bülent Serdaroğlu could join the Galatasaray team after the match started. Galatasaray SK played with 7 players ten minutes into the game. Fenerbahçe SK started the match with 10 players but finished the game with only 9 due to injuries. After the injury of Fenerbahçe's goalkeeper, a random student watching the game was substituted to replace him.
On 12 February 1911, Galatasaray SK achieved the team's highest Kıtalararası Derbi win beating Fenerbahçe SK 7-0 with only 7 players on the pitch. 4 goals were scored by Celal İbrahim, 2 by Emin Bülent Serdaroğlu and 1 goal was scored by Idris. It is still the highest goal difference in a football match between the two teams.
İdris, one of the goal scorers, was killed in 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.
