Gaziantep FK Coach Sumudica stated at the press conference held after the match that they started the match badly.
Stating that they were not motivated for the match, Sumudica made the following evaluation:
“It was a match in which we played very badly. It was a match in which we could not get into positions. Normally, we are a team that takes a lot of positions at home and scores goals easily. It was a tactically tight match. If you had asked, the opponent team would have accepted a draw before the match. We also did not use the time well today. The opponent was very strong. He used it well. The opponent was constantly on the ground. We fell into their game. If we were a little smarter and didn’t follow their game to pass the time. Of course, these are not excuses. We haven’t achieved anything yet. The team needs to realize this. We have a long way to go.
