Beshir's Rize Lasted 45 Minutes Only!

After the departure of their manager Riza Calimbay to Besiktas, Beshir and Hosny's Rizespor continued to stutter and lost heavily at home to Galatasaray.




This weekend witnessed a heavy home defeat for Beshir El Tabei and Ahmed Salah Hosny's Rizespor at the hands of Galatasaray who won 0-3 at Rize's home turf.

Both Egyptians were selected among the Rize squad for the match. However, Beshir was the only Egyptian in the starting eleven while Hosny didn't see any action and remained on bench.

Beshir and his teammates in defense managed to keep the score 0-0 in the first half despite the pressure from Galatasaray. However, the team collapsed totally in the second half and Gala managed to score three times to win the game and keep the 2nd spot in the table after Fenerbahce.

After a goal-less first half, Beshir's teammate in defense Cem Baki put the ball into his own net to give Galatasaray the lead. This goal was the turning point in the game as Rize failed to pull level and conceded two more goals in the 82nd and 85th minutes through the veteran striker Hakan Sukur.

Despite this defeat, Rizespor remained 5th in the table. However, it appears that the departure of their coach Riza Calimbay will have bad effects on the form of the team.
