LAST WEEKEND:
One of the least goal conceding teams, Caykur Rizespor,
ended another ninety minutes without seeing any goals
in their net. Eventually, they scored one goal in each
half and clinched their good position in the table.
Beshir El Tabei didn't start the game, quite possibly
after recent talks with Zamalek, but he came on in the
second half. This is while Ahmed Salah Hosny did not
see action, and whether he will continue at the Turkish
club is not known.
First Half:
In the second minute, Rize's Serkan used the flank and
then crossed from the left edge of the area, Zafer shot
the ball on the goal but it went out.
In the eleventh minute, Fahri was knocked down on the
floor and Rizespor were given a free-kick. Zafer gave
it short to Kursat and Kursat shot in low fiercely.
He found the net past Diallo: 1-0.
In the minute 25, Rize almost got another as Gurol crossed
the ball from the right to Murat Sozkesen whose header
hit the post and then went for a corner
The domination continued, and not long later, Zafer
whipped the corner into the area but Ahmet it over the
bar
The first half ended with several opportunities from
the hosts. The visitors were too weak even to see the
ball go anywhere between the framework.

Second Half:
In the minute fifty-five, Murat Sozkesen crossed the ball
from the right and Unal headed the ball to Okan who saw the
ball flying over the bar.
Four minutes later, Zafer whipped the corner into the area
and Diallo fumbled it and then let the ball dropped to Okan.
Okan sent the ball towards the keeperless goal but the defenders
cleared off the line and Murat Sozkesen shot the bouncing
ball but at last the ball went away.
On the counter attack of the previous Rizespor opportunity,
Burak shot the ball well outside the area but Zdravkov was
keen to deflect the ball for a corner.
At this stage, the Egyptian centre back Beshir El Tabei replaced
the performing striker Murat Sozkesen, in a defensive move
by the coach.
In the minute sixty-eight, Zafer crossed the ball to Okan
who headed short to Fahri, and the latter shot fiercely finding
the closing goal of the game: 2-0, and a convincing win.
