FENERBAHCE CANNOT PASS THE POSTS: KARTAL CRISIS CONTINUES

In a highly anticipated week of the Super Lig, Fenerbahce deeply disappointed their fans by returning from the tough Gaziantep FK away match with a goalless draw. Before the match, the yellow-navy blue club experienced a literal earthquake. As is known, head coach İsmail Kartal, who was subjected to a huge reaction from the fans during the eventful Roma match where a water bottle was thrown at him, had resigned following these heavy protests. The experienced coach was even absent from the team's first training session before the Antep match. However, Kartal was persuaded to stay on duty following the intense efforts of President Aziz Yıldırım and Sporting Director Oğuz Çetin. Stepping onto the pitch in the shadow of crises, Fenerbahce faced a solid defensive strategy adopted by the home team under the management of coach Orhan Ak. Wasting a very clear scoring opportunity with new transfer Guendouzi in the first half, the yellow-navy blues were completely struck by bad luck in the second half. In the effective attacks developed, exactly two shots hit the woodwork. As the game became tense in the final minutes, the scoreline did not change. Following this unexpected point loss, the İsmail Kartal crisis deepened even further. With this goalless result, Orhan Ak's students increased their points to 8, finishing the week in 7th place. Fenerbahce, suffering a heavy blow, remained at 7 points, dropping down to 11th in the league table.
