Rizespor’s goalkeeper under scrutiny

Goalkeeper Gokhan Akkan, who conceded several questionable goals, was protested by his own fans.

On social media, Akkan’s record of conceding 20 goals in the last four matches against Fenerbahce became a hot topic.

Sports commentators also highlighted Akkan’s mistakes, pointing out that Fenerbahce’s away matches against Caykur Rizespor have become the easiest fixtures for the team each season.

Fenerbahce pays tribute to Daum

Fenerbahce players took to the field with a banner reading “You Will Always Be in Our Hearts” in memory of their former coach Christoph Daum, who recently passed away.

Daum, who died because of lung cancer, won the Super League championship with Fenerbahce in the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 seasons.
