GENCLERBIRLIGI MAKE A POINT !!

 



 

Greetings Kankas and Kankies.

 

It was not pretty to watch, but at least Gencler escaped from Istanbul last night with a point.   However, it doesn’t disguise the fact that Gencler is still flirting with the relegation zone and only 4 points above it as of today.

 

There is no doubting Gencler’s endeavours in what was a scrappy match, but their goal attempts in the final 3rd were way off target and those that were on target were ‘powder puff’  !!

 

Istanbulspor          0                 GENCLERBIRLIGI             0

 

Team – Ramazan, Muhammed, Gokhan, Arda, Metehan, Aksel, Hrechyshkin, Lualua, Baris, Berisbek and Eleke

 

Substitutes – Serdarcan, Ilker, Sallallich and Musa

 

It was end to end stuff in the 1st half with both teams having 2 shots on target each, but none to seriously bother both goalkeepers.

 

The 2nd half was more of the same with Istanbulspor having 67% possession and only one more shot on target as opposed to Gencler’s 3 shots on target.

 

In fact, Gencler almost stole all 3 points in the 4th minute of time added on when the Istanbulspor goalkeeper made a great save from a cut-back and shot which he smothered.

 

Gencler is gradually running out of matches to secure their ‘normal’ league position of mid-table.   However, they have a chance to do that next Saturday in the ‘unofficial’ Ankara Derby when they host Keciorengucu in what will surely be another scrap for the points, with Keciorengucu only 3 points above Gencler  !!

 

As always, watch this space for the outcome.

 

All the best from Eski Kanka Jim
