Penguin's "Victory" Over Salvatore Maroni Explained Deluding Himself That He Finally Beat Sal

After Sofia Gigante kidnaps Oz"s mother, Francis, Salvatore Maroni and his men arrive to beat The Penguin before telling him that he"ll have to give up his drug operations and return the Bliss product to Sofia in exchange for his mother"s life. As such, Penguin leads Sal and his men down to the tunnels and underground trolley system where Oz has been able to ship his product all over the city undetected. However, Oz"s men shut down the lights and fight back, with Oz and Sal fighting inside one of the trolleys during the resulting shootout.
While Sal gets the upper hand, he surprisingly dies from a heart attack mid-fight. As such, it"s a tragic and massively anticlimactic way for one of Gotham"s biggest crime bosses to go out, though it"s fascinating to see how Oz Cobb responds as he"s effectively denied the opportunity to truly prove himself against Maroni. Regardless, Oz seemingly deludes himself that he did indeed beat Salvatore Maroni, shooting the already dead crime boss multiple times in the chest before taking his ring.
