Greetings Kankas
and Kankies.
Five matches
into the season and Gencler is making life difficult for themselves again
having won only one, lost two and drawn two.
Of course, it is
early days, but the signs are not encouraging for Gencler as they slide down
the league and find themselves only 3 points above the relegation zone.
They didn’t help
themselves in last night’s match against Tuzla by having to play for most of
the 2nd half with 10 men, having lost Metehan for a needless foul 5
minutes into the 2nd half !!
GENCLERBIRLIGI 1 Tuzlaspor 2
Team (which hasn’t
changed since the beginning of the season) .........
Adiyaman,
Metehan, Gokhan, Mert K, Musa, Hrechyshkin, Baris, Aksel, Serdarcan, Ahmet and
Ilker
Substitutes
- Altiparmak, Byelyayev and Sahindere
Nothing to
report in a fairly even 1st half with neither goalkeeper seriously
troubled. Gencler looked the likelier team
and the Tuzla defence looked a little laboured at times, especially dealing
with the speed of Baris and Ahmet.
5 minutes into
the 2nd half and Metehan received a straight RED card for barging
into Adeniyi and bringing him down just outside the box as he was shaping up to
shoot. The resulting free kick hit the
side netting on the wrong side !
Tuzla piled on
the pressure and Gencler was on the back foot.
However, Tuzla’s attacking play finally bore fruit in the 70th
minute. A fast attack on the left, the
cross into the box which was met first time by Yahaya to send his shot inside
the right post.
10 minutes to go
until the final whistle and the pace of the match increased as Gencler woke-up
and searched for the equaliser whilst Tuzla attempted to slow the match down
and run the clock down !
Into the 87th
minute and Gencler won a free kick outside the box on the right. Hrechyshkin sent over a cross to the back
post which was met by Gokhan who powered in an unstoppable header for the
equaliser.
Game over and a
share of the spoils ? So I thought !!!
However .........
90 plus 5 and a
final attack by Tuzla down the right.
The cross came in and Adeniyi stole in between 2 defenders to head in
for the winner with Adiyaman helpless.
Now ........
game over !!!
Next up for
Gencler is an away match in Denizli on Saturday 17 September. Denizli have yet to win a match, so it is
destined to be a tense encounter, and as we all know from past experience,
Denizli is never an easy venue to visit and expect 3 points !
As always, watch this space for the outcome.
All the best
from Eski Kanka Jim
