Ayman Abdelaziz and Abdelzaher El Saka will not see European action next season, but they finished in a well-earned 5th place, as they managed to defeat Gaziantep 2-1 in the final day of the Turkish season, ending in the 5th spot of the table.

Despite their awful start this season, Genclerbirligi managed to finish in 5th spot in the table, just one place away from Ahmed Hassan's Besiktas.

Both Egyptians Abdelzaher El Saka and Ayman Abdelaziz contributed to the great success of the team in the 2nd half of the season. Gencler already changed three managers throughout the season but their current coach Ziya Dogan, Ayman's father-like figure helped the side to get back on track.

This weekend, Gencler faced Gaziantepspor and managed to win the home game with 2-1 result. El Saka didn't feature in the game but the other Egyptian Ayman Abdelaziz played the full match and showed a solid performance particularly in defence.
