Greetings Kankas
and Kankies.
Despite a well
constructed equalising goal near the end last night, Gencler find themselves
precariously close to the relegation zone.
Gencler played
well in phases, but they were also up against a strong Kocaeli team who are
also involved in moving clear of the relegation zone.
GENCLERBIRLIGI 1 Kocaeli 1
Team – Ramazan,
Omurcan, Metehan, Gokhan, Muhammed, Hrechyshkin, Tshibola, Baris, Serdarcan,
Lualua and Lima
Substitutes –
Eleke, Berisberk and Ilker
I am unable to
report in detail due to some ‘social activities’, but I did see both goals
scored in the 2nd half after a fairly uneventful 1st
half.
10 minutes into
the 2nd half and the normally reliable Metehan made a weak and poor
back pass to Ramazan which was pounced on by Gueye who took the ball around
Ramazan and stroked it into an empty net.
15 minutes later
Gencler found the equaliser after some excellent play by the full back Omurcan who
was in support of the attack. The ball
was played from the right wing to Omurcan to the right of centre in the box and
he sent his shot across the goalkeeper and inside the left post.
Gencler almost
found the winner near the end when Lima had his goal bound header well saved by
the Kocaeli goalkeeper.
So, Gencler is
still only 3 points above the relegation zone and they face another obstacle next
Saturday when they travel to face Istanbulspor who are positioning themselves
to challenge Umraniye and Ankaragucu for automatic promotion. Therefore, Gencler will need to be at their
very best to bring at least one point back to Ankara.
As always, watch
this space for the outcome.
All the best
from Eski Kanka Jim
