Brazilian defender Heliton became the goal of the defense in Göztepe, which took a giant step towards the Super League by beating Şanlıurfaspor 1-0 away in the 1st League. The 28-year-old football player, who came from Bulgaria’s CSKA 1948 Sofia team during the interim transfer period, attracted all the attention with his performance in a short time. Heliton, who made very critical interventions in defense, also brought movement to the attack. The player, who was especially effective in the opponent’s penalty area during set-pieces, sent the ball into the net twice in official matches. Heliton played 9 matches in the league and played 721 minutes.
The yellow-reds, who displayed a very good display in defense under Heliton’s leadership, managed to keep a clean sheet in the last 6 matches. Lastly, Göztepe conceded a goal in the away match against Çorum FK, which resulted in a 1-1 draw; Altay, Bandırmaspor, Manisa FK, Adanaspor, Boluspor and Şanlıurfaspor did not bring joy to their opponents in their matches. Göztepe drew goalless with Manisa FK in only 1 of the 6 matches in which it did not concede a goal, and finished the other matches with 3 points each. On the other hand, it was learned that midfielder Amhed Ildız, who was injured in the last Şanlıurfaspor match, will not be able to play in the Ankara Keçiörengücü match to be played at Gürel Aksel Stadium on Saturday.
