The Storm of the Super League blew against Bodrum, which they hosted at home: 1-0. Yesterday the sun shone brightly for the claret-blue team, who were progressing positively in terms of play despite being longing for victory in the Super League for the last 3 weeks. The students of Şenol Güneş, who could not get any points despite scoring 3 goals against G.Saray last week, gained morale before the new year by achieving a critical victory in front of Bodrum yesterday. While the first half of the match ended in a goalless draw, both team goalkeepers made important saves.
A GREAT MISSILE
Entering the second half quickly, the claret-blue team had difficulty finding the goal they were looking for. Trabzonspor, who could not break the Bodrum goal despite forcing it, scored a goal as if they were breaking the lock in the 86th minute. Pedro Malheiro, the Portuguese star of the claret-blue team, sent a magnificent missile over the penalty area. Even though goalkeeper Diogo Sousa touched the ball with his fingertips, he could not prevent the goal. Trabzonspor, which reached 3 points with this goal, managed to end the season with a much-needed victory.
11 MISSING IN THE SQUAD
Stefan Savic, Okay Yokuşlu, Serkan Asan, Hüseyin Türkmen, Arseniy Batagov, Edin Visca and Denis Draguş, who were injured in Trabzonspor, and Serdar Saatçi, who was suspended, were not included in the match squad. Additionally, three names are out of the squad; Bardhi, Denswil and Umut Bozok were also not in the match squad. 17-year-old Arda and Onuralp were in the 21-person squad.
MADE 2 CHANGES
Trabzonspor made 2 player changes compared to the 11 in the Galatasaray match, which they lost 4-3 away last week. Coach Şenol Güneş assigned center back Ali Şahin Yılmaz to the starting 11 instead of Serdar Saatçi, who was suspended. Güneş, the coach of the claret-blue team, put Cihan Çanak on the field in the absence of Edin Visca, who was injured.
