Ankaragucu were made to fight for their 3 points at lowly Tuzlaspor today and it looked to be heading for a 1-1 draw until a late Omer Bozan free kick sent Ankaragucu top of the league!
Team - Emrah Tuncel, Serkan Balci, Sezgin Coskun, Alihan Kubalas, Onur Atasayer, Ferhat Culcuoglu, Harun Aydin, Orhan Gulle, Omer Bozan, Mustafa Ozturk, Muharrem Ozan

It was a scrappy affair in Tuzla and Ankaragucu weren't at their best but 3 points are all that matters. Gumushanespor lost 1-0 at Nigde which means Ankaragucu go top on goal difference.
The opening goal of the game came from Onur Atasayer. A corner was swung into the box on 38 minutes and Onur flicked the ball past the keeper at the front post to make it 1-0.
It stayed that way until the 70th minute when Tuzlaspor equalised though Kivanc Salihoglu. At this stage it didn't look like Ankaragucu would score again as both teams failed to create any chances of note.
Ankaragucu were then awarded a free kick on the 83rd minute from about 35 yards out. Up stepped Omer Bozan to curl the ball past Bekir in the Tuzla goal to send the Ankaragucu fans who had travelled wild. What a goal it was 2-1 Ankaragucu.
The game ended 2-1 and Ankaragucu move top. The next two games are at home against Kastamonuspor and then Kayseri Erciyesspor.
The meal was a bit salty :) but We ate it couse We need it !
ReplyDeleteAfeyet Olsun Harun !!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the report Nadeem.
Damon and I were attending a seminar this afternoon but we still managed to follow your and Harun's updates on fb !
Yes, it's now an interesting situation at the top with Ankaragucu and Gumus...spit....hane pulling away from the rest. Of course, our next two home matches are important to win all 6 points. However, the 2nd half of the season after the winter break will be the acid test.
We must hope, and pray, that we can put some daylight between us and effin Gumush on the run-in. We have the players to do this, so let's be optimistic AGAIN !!!
Nice one!!
ReplyDeleteTop of the league, the future is bright.
