RAMS Başakşehir's head coach Nuri Şahin, who lost 3-2 to Beşiktaş at home in the 22nd week of the Trendyol Super League, made statements after the match.

'THE MATCH DESERVED AT LEAST 1 POINT'

Evaluating the match, Şahin said, "I am very sad. The match deserved at least 1 point. It would have been good for us. We couldn't play the critical moments correctly. You can't prevent individual mistakes. Opoku went to the dryness of the field. We couldn't play the moments correctly. We found the equalizer at 2-2, we pressed well during that time. We found the goal we deserved, but we couldn't break the match. We could have taken control of the match at the beginning of the second half. After 2-1, my team was good. As I said, we need to play the moments correctly. In the end, you are playing against Beşiktaş, a team that knows these places. If we want to rise to these levels again, we must play those moments correctly. We need to learn these places. If we want to bring Başakşehir back to that level, we cannot lose these matches. Let this be a lesson." he said.
