Both Ibrahim Said and Beshir El Tabei played as centre-backs
for Caykur Rizespor in the weekend, in a game which
they lost in the final seconds.
The Egyptians paired up in the heart of the defence
and performed well against Gaziantepsor, only to lose
to a 90th minute goal from the hosts.
The game also saw a full game for Said, showing that
he is back to fitness and in the club's plans. He moved
up the park throughout the game but performed well in
the defence nonetheless.
Rize's manager Riza Calimbay, who has always been fond
of El Tabei, and helped him adapt in Turkey, left unexpectedly
last week. The new manager chose to play the Egyptians
at the back, but reassured that they are an essential
part of the team.
But for the club, relegation is very close. They are
15th in an 18-team league, where three sides go down.
The loss against Gaziantep has put Rize in a bad situation,
particularly as Gaziantep are also one of the candidates
for the drop.

The game saw numerous efforts on goal from both sides, particularly
Gaziantep. Both Egyptians were able to clear a number of rather
dangerousn balls. However, in the first half, Heema was inside
his box to meet a cross from the right, but when trying to
clear it, the ball went through his legs. Luckily however,
the mistake didn't prove fatal.
In the last seconds of the game, a cross was delivered which
El Tabei managed to head away. However, it returned to the
attack who put it into the danger area. From just inside the
box, Erdal Kilicaslan was able to smash the ball home, with
Said jumping in the way to pressure him but unfortunately
unable to block...
