One of the important clubs in Turkish football, Altay, which drew 1-1 away against Bornova 1877 in the TFF 3rd League 4th Group, has not seen a victory in the first 5 matches of the season after 22 years.
COULD NOT WIN IN THE FIRST 5 WEEKS
In the first 5 weeks, the İzmir representative lost to Uşakspor (A), Denizli İdmanyurdu (A), and Eskişehirspor, and drew with Ayvalıkgücü Belediyespor and Bornova 1877 (A). The last time they failed to win in their first 5 matches was in the 2003-04 season. That season, the black-and-whites lost to İzmirspor and Kayseri Erciyespor, and could not win against Kocaelispor, Adana Demirspor (A), and Karşıyaka (A).
Due to the maintenance of Bornova Aziz Kocaoğlu Stadium, the match against Bornova 1877, played at Manisa 19 Mayıs Stadium, ended the first half 1-0 behind. In the second half, the black-and-whites equalized the score with a goal from 44-year-old striker Murat Uluç, leaving the field with 1 point and reaching 2 points. Technical director Yusuf Şimşek, who was in charge for the second match, earned his first point. Altay, who completed the 5th week in the relegation zone, will host Söke 1970 at İzmir Atatürk Stadium next Saturday.
