Greetings Kankas
and Kankies.
The ‘mini’
Ankara Derby ended in a well deserved victory for Keciorengucu today after
Gencler squandered a host of chances.
Gencler had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target and yet failed to
seriously trouble the Kecioren goalkeeper, Huseyin.
Gencler even
failed to capitalise on being awarded a penalty in the 1st minute of
the match after Huseyin made an excellent save.

Team – Adiyaman,

Eleke
Substitutes –
Lualua, Ulusoy, Sallallich and Serdarcan
Gencler kicked
off and went straight into the offence with Baris carrying the ball down the
right wing. He crossed into the danger
area and Huseyin parried the ball, but only to a Gencler attacker whose shot
struck the arm of a defender before going out of play. The referee immediately pointed to the spot
and Lima stepped up to take the penalty.
His shot was well struck and heading inside the left post, but Huseyin
made a great save to parry the ball and it was cleared by a defender.
Eze of Kecioren
was causing the Gencler defence lots of problems with his pace, skill and
running off the ball and he was unlucky in the 10th minute to see
his shot whizz just past the post.
Kecioren
persisted in playing long balls out of defence, the majority of which were
swallowed up by the Gencler defence.
Gencler, on the other hand, was playing some nice football in their
build ups but firing blanks in the final 3rd.
5 minutes into
the 2nd half and Eze sent a goal bound shot from outside the box to
the top left, but Adiyaman made a brilliant save to divert the ball for a
corner.
From the
resulting corner, the ball was swung into the danger area and Vusal rose
highest to power in a header for the opening goal.
5 minutes later
Eze was put through in the centre but screwed his shot just past the left post
when it seemed easier to score.
At this point in
the match I was ordered out of the house by ‘She Who Must be Obeyed’ to take
her on a shopping trip, so I was unable to see the 2nd goal !!!
It arrived in
the 84th minute and unsurprisingly scored by my Man of the Match,
Eze, who is destined for greater things on this performance. I should also mention the Kecioren Captain,
Solmaz, who was commanding in defence and didn’t put a foot wrong !
Gencler is now
stuck in 12th place in mid-table, but only 4 points above the
relegation zone !!
With the
International Break next weekend, Gencler are next in action at home to Tuzla
on Saturday 20th November.
All the best
