Having beaten Tuzlaspor 1-0 away in Spor Toto 1st League with 3 points in the 7th game, Altınordu regained himself with the return of captain Ahmet İlhan Özek, who scored the winning goal.
While the Izmir team won 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses in the 7 games they played, Ahmet İlhan contributed to the score in the 6 points collected. The 34-year-old right wing player, who shook the opponent’s nets twice, one of which was from a penalty, in the Gençlerbirliği match that ended 3-3 away in the first week, turned one of the 2 penalties he used in Bolu away into a goal. The experienced football player, who assisted in Pendikspor’s appointment, which ended 1-1, was the name that finally destroyed Tuzlaspor.
Ahmet İlhan Özek, who showed 4 goals and 1 assist performance in 5 matches in the league, backed his team as the top scorer of the red-dark blue team. The master football player, who brought Altınordu to victory with the stylish goal he sent to Tuzlaspor from outside the penalty area to 90, gave hope to the Izmir team, which was on the fall line. While Ahmet İlhan could not take part in Göztepe and Ankara Keçiörengücü matches due to his injury, Altınordu left these 2 matches empty-handed. Ahmet İlhan Özek, who renewed a 2+1 year contract with the club at the end of last season, scored 10 goals in his first year with a red-dark blue jersey, and 11 goals in the league and 1 goal in the cup last season. Experienced player reached 26 goals in total.
