Fethiyespor 2016/2017

[yabanci]

Fethiyespor made it 3 wins in 3 seasons when they beat Konya Selcukspor 1-0 at the Konya Ataturk Stadium this afternoon.After a fairly even first half with both teams having good chances the hosts were reduced to 10 men on 54 mins after a bad tackle on Fethiyespor captain Mert Er Estik.Konya had the better chances following the sending off and should have scored 7 mins from time when they hit the crossbar and then fired wide from the rebound.3 mins from time Aytac Deniz hit the post for Fethiye but in the 91st minute an Oktay Pop free kick was headed down and into the net from Konya defender Volcan Kocaloglu.This was only Fethiye's third goal in the last 6 matches but it earned them 3 points.
Fethiye move up two places to 11th on 12 points and have a local derby on Wednesday at home to Nazilli next.Dont expect many goals in this one as Fethiye have only scored 10 in 10 games and Nazilli are the 2nd lowest scorers in the league with 7.Also in the last 2 years Fethiye have won this fixture 1-0 on both occasions.

Bayram Cetin came up Top Trumps for Fethiyespor this afternoon with an acrobatic overhead kick to equalize in the 95th minute against Nazilli.After a fairly even 1st half the visitors took the lead following a corner after 51 mins,Ozden scoring from close range.Fethiye brought on 3 attacking substitutes in the 2nd half to switch to a 4-3-3 formation but the best they could manage was an Oktay Pop effort tipped over the crossbar.That was until centre back Cetin scored his 3rd goal of the season to rescue a point for Fethiye.
Fethiye are now 12th with 13 points but are only 3 points above the relegation zone again.A tough away match on Sunday to 3rd placed Istanbulspor who were runners-up in this league last season.Fethiye however did manage to draw against them in both of the meetings against them last year.

Fethiyespor lost their 2nd game in their last 6 league matches when they lost 2-1 at Istanbulspor this afternoon.All the goals came in the 2nd half with the hosts taking the lead on 52 mins.Oguzhan Yildirim with his first goal of the season drew the sides level on 68 mins but the home side won the game scoring 12 mins from time. Fethiye move down 2 places to 14th in the league,but none of the 4 teams below them picked up any points today either.
A home game for Fethiye next Sunday against one of the teams below them,Tepecikspor also from Istanbul.Tepecik have a good recent record against Fethiye winning 4 of the last 5 games against them,including the last 2 matches at Fethiye.

Fethiyespor have today appointed 60 year old Mehmet Akif Basaran as their new Technical Director. His career in management started in 1988 and his last position was in charge of Aydinspor 1923.

Ha ! I first read that as 'his last position was in charge of Aydinspor in 1923' !!!

He may be 20 years older than the previous TD but he's not that old.
3 points on Sunday would be nice please Akif.
