"THIS IS A TOUGH AWAY GAME"
Evaluating the match, Okan Buruk said, "After 2-1, with the influence of their fans, the opponent's pressure increased. This is really a tough away game. We experienced about 10 minutes of panic during that period and gave the opponent some chances. However, overall, we still had possession of the ball. The player substitutions positively affected the course of the game. After the third goal, it became a more comfortable match for us. The difference between the first and second halves was that the opponent played more eagerly after scoring and our simple ball losses, especially in the final part. We gave the opponent a few clear chances with unnecessary passing errors. As a result, we played against a very good team in a tough away game. We are very happy to leave here with a victory. This match was also very important for us psychologically. Increasing the point difference was a critical gain for us," he stated.
"WE MUST NOT FORGET WHAT HAPPENED IN KOCAELİ"
The experienced coach, regarding the Kocaelispor match to be played on the weekend, said, "We have the Kocaelispor match coming up this weekend. This match is also very important for us. We must not forget what happened in Kocaeli in the first half and the statements made against our club. We will prepare for this match in the best way possible. I believe our fans will support us strongly without forgetting this. Hopefully, we will achieve an important victory together."
