Fethiyespor 2017/2018

[yabanci]

Fethiyespor picked up a valuable away point with a 2-2 draw away at Kahramanmaras this afternoon. The hosts went ahead in first half stoppage time with top scorer Taskaya getting his 5th goal of the season. Fethiye came back and grabbed an equaliser on 58 mins when new signing Ahmet Dereli got his 1st goal for the club. Metin Sevinc thought he had won the game for Fethiye when he scored in the 83rd minute, but 4 mins later Zorlu made it 2-2 and the points were shared.
Fethiye stay in 14th place in the league with 20 points, now only 3 ahead of Nazilli who are in the final relegation place at the moment. A tough home game on Sunday for Fethiye when they face Sanliurfaspor who are currently 5th in the league, but could be as high as 2nd if they win their match tonight. Sanliurfa won easily earlier in the season beating Fethiye 3-0, and when the teams last played each other at Fethiye, in Sept 2013, they beat Fethiye 3-1.However one glimmer of hope for Fethiye is that Sanliurfa have lost 5 out of their last 6 away matches.

Fethiyespor fell to a 3-1 home defeat against promotion chasing Sanliurfaspor this afternoon. After a fairly even first 25 mins the game was turned on its head a minute later when midfielder Hakan Olkan was rather harshly adjudged to have handled in the penalty area. Sanliurfa scored from the resultant spot kick and Olkan received a red card.
6 minutes into the 2nd half tricky winger Kiroglu put the visitors two ahead. He also added a third after 75 mins before Metin Sevinc scored a consolation goal for Fethiye with 6 mins remaining.That defeat sees Fethiye move down to 15th in the league,just 3 points above Nazilli who occupy the final relegation place. Fethiye travel to met Nazilli next weekend for a relegation 6 pointer. The teams drew 1-1 earlier in the season at Fethiye and drew 0-0 at Nazilli last season. Another good game for Fethiye to record their first away win of the season in.

Fethiyespor had to come from behind to rescue a point this afternoon as they battle to avoid relegation from Lig 2. Playing away at neighbours Nazilli it was the hosts who took the lead on 16 mins with a goal from Serdar Eylik. Fethiye carved out several decent chances and hit the inside of the post from a corner ,early in the second half. Just when it looked like Nazilli were going to hold onto their lead a cross from the left from Yigit Yoney was headed in by Ahmet Dereli, for his 2nd goal for the club. Fethiye had their hearts in their mouths in the 2nd min of injury time when Nazilli had the ball in the net from a header but it was ruled out for offside and the game finished 1-1.
That point keeps Fethiye in 15th place still 3 points above the relegation zone. A tough home game next week against league leaders Altay who have won 5 of their last 6 games, and beat Fethiye 2-1 at home earlier in the season.

With only 10 games left to play it looks like 3 of the bottom 4 sides will be relegated.

Fethiyespor pulled off a great result this afternoon when they held league leaders Altay to a 1-1 draw. Watched by probably the biggest crowd of the season and with a large contingent of away fans coming down from Izmir, Fethiye put in a much improved performance. Playing with only winger Ahmet Dereli up front Fethiye more than matched the opposition in the first half. The best chance of a fairly even 1st half fell to Fethiye when Ensar Baykan was put through in the area but shot straight at the keeper.
In the second minute of the 2nd half Fethiye took the lead. Metin Sevinc lashed his shot against the post but the rebound fell to Anil Tasdemir who scored his first goal for the club since his move from Denizlispor. Altay pushed forward looking for an equalizer but it was Fethiye that had the better chances with Dereli going close twice.
However with 17 mins to go the visitors were handed a rather soft penalty for a trip in the box which was converted by Ozan to make it 1-1. Thats how it finished and Fethiye remain 15th with 22 points.
Fethiye are away in Istanbul next weekend when they take on Karagumruk who are 1 place and 4 points above them. A good match to get that first away win of the season. Fethiye beat Karagumruk earlier in the season 2-1 and beat the team from Istanbul 1-0 away last season.
