Beshir and Saka Impress in Draw

The clash of the Egyptians in Turkey ended in a 1-1 tie between Beshir and Murat's Rize and Ahmed Belal and El Saka's Konya.



Konyaspor and Caykur Rizespor played in the Turkcell Super League this week.

The pitch wasn't good for football because Rize was rainy during the day. Rize is a very green city so all year passes with rain in Rize.

Caykur Rize were under pressure because they had won just once, against Besiktas, and had just lost in the Turkiye Kupasi against Sariyer 0-3 (2.Division B category club). Konyaspor were more comfortable because they had already collected 9 points in the Turkcell Super League and they eliminated Siirtspor in the Turkiye Kupasi.

The Egyptian defenders were very good in this match, but Beshir had to be the best Egyptian as he was able to stop attacks and didn't let Ahmed Belal get near scoring.

But Yasin scored in his own goal unluckily which meant Beshir and his defence couldn't keep a clean sheet.

Konyaspor's Egyptian striker Ahmed Belal wasn't impressive tonight. This was really because he didn't meet the ball often.

Meanwhile, Abdelzaher El Saka played an important role too, while half-Egyptian Murat Hikmet Salar didn't feature for Rize.


Match Highlights:

2. min: Rizespor started the attacks as Okan found Douglas with a fine pass. Douglas shot when he entered the box but the ball went out.

4. min: Okan met the ball in the six yard box after Cem Baki's good cross but Okan couldn't touch the ball.

25. min: Konya's Murat Hacioglu crossed inside the box towards Belal but Rizespor's Yasin made a mistake and sliced his clearance behind into his own goal. 0-1.

43. min: Serkan crossed into the box. Batista's touch went the wrong way but the goalkeeper Ozden managed to control the ball before another own goal would be conceded, this time at the other end.

46. min: Okan headed Cem Baki's cross inside the box, but it missed the target.

74. min: Rizespor's Serhat was shown the red car after an off the ball use of his elbow on Erman.

80. min: Serhat crossed into the box, and Cire controlled the ball on his chest and scored to merit a draw against the ten men. 1-1.
