Ayman in Trouble as Hassan Wins Again!

Date: 21-8-2005
Wrote: EP's reporter in Turkey Ali AVCI

Ayman Abdelaziz's Genclerbirligi and Ahmed Hassan's Besiktas clashed in the third week of the Turkcell Super League. Besiktas won the match by two goals via Ailton and Tumer. Gencler continued to lose points.



The new Besiktas strike-force did well...

It seems that Besiktas found their comfortable team this season. The last match's eleven were on the pitch again and the Eagles finished the game with the same score. Genclerbirligi and Besiktas completed the match with good football and gave their supporters an exciting match.

Ahmed Hassan and Ayman were close in the match again. They were friends before the match but after the whistle, they lived a war in their football. Ahmed Hassan was fouled lots of times by Ayman, as Hassan always takes harsh fouls from other Egyptians as usual. Ayman was booked with a yellow after a foul on Hassan. Beshir and El Saka were also similar against Hassan in last season's matches.

Ailton protested to his manager after Calimbay changed him for Tumer. The Brazilian striker apologised to his manager after the match and said he wanted to play more to score again. Calimbay said he is the scorer of the team but he is not fit enough for ninety minutes. Calimbay also took Ahmed Hassan off in last five minutes with the claps of the supporters.

Match Highlights:

10th minute, Ugur Boral crossed the ball inside to Erhan. Erhan headed it from short distance but the ball went over the bar. He could have done better.

20th minute, Mehmet Cakir stole the ball from Besiktas' defence. He was alone and tried to lob the ball over Cordoba but the Colombian keeper was successful in the chance and handled it.

26th minute, Isaac Promise sent the ball forward from the right. The ball hit Besiktas players but came to Sedat Yesilkaya. Sedat struck a very good shot. Cordoba was again the hero as he punched the great strike.

Half time, Besiktas controlled the ball more but Genclerbirligi found some dangerous opportunities. 0-0.

51st minute, With the defensive error of Ibrahim Toraman, Mehmet Cakir stole the ball and ran forward to score. His strike was poor and went out.


53rd minute, Ali Gunes took the ball on the right wing. His shot was punched by Gokhan. The ball came back from the keeper but there were no available Besiktas strikers to rebound a goal.

61st minute, Ali Gunes' free-kick came to Youla. The Guinean forward didn't stop and gave it to Ailton quickly with his head. Ailton shot with his left into the other side and scored the first goal. 0-1.

65th minute, Gokhan prevented the first goal of Kleberson. The Brazilian's free-kick was saved from the corner of the post by the keeper.

88th minute, Gencler started to take risks and attacked at Besiktas with more men. In a crowded chance, the ball came back from the Besiktas defence. Tuna got the ball and shot nicely. Cordoba was lucky there as the ball hit the post and came back. The defence then sent it away and ended the danger.

90th minute, With the brilliant pass of Kleberson, Veysel found himself in a dangerous goalscoring position. He saw the free Tumer. And Tumer did the right thing. He scored! 0-2.

Full time, Besiktas return to Istanbul with three points. The Ankara side Gencler need time and transfers...
