Caykur Rizespor continued their impressive home form
by beating league leaders Fenerbahce 2-1. Fener are
still 4 points clear of second place, but Rize's win
puts them in safe position and gives the top of the
league a more exciting battle.
Heema (right) is making a good impression
so far in Turkey...
New signing Ibrahim Said played a good game in the
defensive midfield, wearing his number 44 shirt with
the name "Hema" on the back. Beshir El Tabei
also played at centre-back, and helped in the magnificent
victory.

Rize started the game off well and had a header cleared
off the line. But good luck came to them nonetheless
after five minutes when former Genclberbirligi defender
Deniz Baris accidentally handled the ball inside his
area, chesting it onto his hand, leaving the referee
no choice but to point to the spot. Zafer Biryol tapped
the penalty in.
Egyptian star Ibrahim Said looked more than comfortable
on the pitch with his new very short yet coloured hair.
He even played a part in the second goal by making a
cool and composed square pass in the midfield to Cem
Baki before the ball had bounced. Baki found Ferdi with
a good through ball and the latter finished nicely past
Volkan.
Beshir El Tabei too was playing a vital role. He managed
to scramble away dangerous pressure from Fenerbahce,
once blocking a shot and once hitting the ball away
for a corner after a lofted cross had caused havoc inside
the six-yard box.
