Konyaspor struggled against giants Fenerbahce in a
game that saw Abdelzaher El Saka's side well beaten
by three goals. Both the Egyptian and his team-mates
struggled and failed to stop the Fener attacks. On the
bright side, Mohamed Abdullah started his first game
for the club at a big venue.

El Saka and Konya struggled against Fener...
Though Fener's recent form wasn't great,
they were in full control in this game. They pressurised
Konya and made chances with ease, and only near the
end of the game did the visitors manage to create chances.
This meant that Konya's attacks were non-evident in
the first half, in which they were completely overwhelmed.
Mohamed Abdullah, therefore, was unable to have any
impact on the game in the 45 minutes he played.
A series of big chances fell to Fener's attackers,
who had the ball cleared off the goal-line twice before
El Saka intelligently cleared the ball away for a corner.
El Saka stuck to Tuncay Sanli and managed to block
him well but conceded a corner in the process. From
the resulting corner, the ball was scrambled into the
goal by Marco Aurelio and Fener went in leading at half-time.
The goal had come in stoppage time and given Fener
confidence for the second half. They added two more
in the opening quarter of an hour after the interval,
through Mateja Kezman and Alex.

Another corner tested Konya, and Lugano, whom El Saka
was marking, unfortunately managed to head the ball
towards the goal. There, Kezman was ready to pounce
the ball in from close range.
The third goal signalled an early end to Konya's game,
as a wripping and momentous move ended up with a fine
finish from Alex, making the score 3-0.
To add the the already big blows of Konya's day, the
team's captain El Saka picked up a booking and has therefore
reached four. He will miss the big upcoming game against
champions Galatasaray.
