Samsunspor drew 1-1 with Gaziantep FK, which they played away in the 26th week of the Trendyol Super League. Making evaluations at the press conference after the match, Samsunspor Coach Markus Gisdol said that they were happy to avoid defeat with the goal they scored in the last minutes.
Gisdol said, “We played a really good match today. We showed a strong reaction mentally. We could have scored 2-3 goals in the first half. It was the same in the second half, but we fell behind. Despite this, my players managed to come back. It is also important to leave such a match undefeated. Frankly, we had a lot of problems. We were missing 6 of our main players today. Alim was injured before the match. That’s why we had a difficulty, but we played a very good game. We showed a very good character. Today, I am actually happy, not with 1 point, but with the team performance. End I was not satisfied with the passes and the last shots. If these had been good, the result could have been much different. Today, the field ground was not very suitable for easy playing. I cannot say that I am happy about the field. This is not a field where good football can be played. There was a field where risks could not be taken today. Before the opponent’s goal “Osman wanted to win the ball in the position, while our players stopped for a foul and the position resulted in a goal. I don’t think there was offside in the goal we scored in the first half.”
