Ankaragücü 2 - 0 Gençlerbirliði Oftaþ

Ibrahim Said started again with Ankaragücü to help his side achieve an important win over Gençlerbirliði Oftaþ and improve their situation in the Turkish Super League.

Said's situation also improved a lot as he made his second start with Ankaragücü in a row, he played again in defence and did very well stoping Oftaþ from scoring any goals.

Ankaragücü started scoring only 3 minutes from the kick-off by the Turkish midfielder Murat Erdoðan , the second goal came at the 82nd minute by the substitue Silvino Joao De Carvalho who is known as Jaba,

Ibrahim Said is also called by the Ankara fans "Ibo" which is usually given to someone who is popular, so he also typed it on his T-Shirt No.44.

Besiktas 3 - 0 Trabzonspor

Trabzonspor couldn't stop Beþiktaþ, they suffered a 3-0 loss on Ýstanbul Ýnönü Stadium, the home of Beþiktaþ. The Egyptian duo Ayman and Moawad went with their club to Istanbul but only Ayman played the game.

Sayed Moawad remained on the bench, it was logical that the Egyptian left-back wasn't used from the beginning in this tough match as he needs more time to adapt with his new club and can't be tested in this kind of difficult matches.


Ayman started the game, it was only 5 minutes until Beþiktaþ found the net through their Brazilian striker Nobre, Trabzon fought to equalize but Beþiktaþ managed to double their lead before the end of the 1st half.



Two minutes after the beginning of the 2nd half Ayman received a yellow card and only 1 minute later the Beþiktaþ defender Toraman received his second yellow card and was sent off, although Beþiktaþ had to play with 10 players, Trabzon couldn't score any goals and even their midfielder Barýþ Memiþ received a red card at the 61th minute.

At the 81st after Trabzon conceded the 3rd goal, Ayman was replaced by a 3rd striker Ergin Keleþ for a desperate try to reduce the deficit.

Kayserispor 3 - 0 Gençlerbirliði

Gençlerbirliði also suffered another away heavy loss, they played without their defenders El Saka and Traore .The captain El-Saka was out after accumulating too many yellow cards, according to Lig Radyo.
