El Saka (Konya captain) blames his teammate for elbowing Rize player and getting a red card

Just one week before the end of the Turkish Super League season, Egyptians at Rize (Beshir and Ibrahim Said) and at Konyaspor (Mohamed Abdallah and El Saka) faced each other in an important match especially for Rize who needed the win to avoid relegation.

The game witnessed the sending off of two players from Konyaspor which made the job for Beshir and Heema's side relatively easier. It is worth nothigng that Beshir was the main reason beyond the 2nd red card for Konya as their player Erman Özgür hit the Egyptian on the face after Beshir kicked the ball away to waste time. The Egyptian defender was booked while Özgür had to leave the pitch after recweiving the red card.

Rizespor scored the only goal early on as Altan headed the ball home after a fine cross from the right win in the 8th minute.

Abdallah in challenge with Beshir

In the 21st minute, Konya continued their pressure and won a freekick in the right wing. However, their player Sabin elbowed one of Rizespor players in the face and ths resulted in a red card for Sabin.

Konya continued their game starting from the 21st minute with just ten players on the field. They were already down by a goal and so, their job was extremely difficult to come back into the game while playing with ten men and away from home as well.
