Re: New Fenerbahce Thread !!!!!!!
Beşiktaş 1 - 2 Fenerbahçe
This time we’re the ones who win in the last minute. Tuncay Sanli’s stoppage time winner right after Kleberson’s last gasp equaliser took us to victory in the Inonu Stadium. Nicolas Anelka’s superb performance was capped by the first goal and a string of amazing skills which won us a penalty on the end of it. Marcio Nobre missed the penalty, but we were the superior side throughout and Tuncay’s goal was well deserved.
Playing in a similar system of that employed in Milan, Christoph Daum played both Stephen Appiah and Serkan Balci who were doubts before the game. Nobre was left out to form a busy midfield whilst keeping Anelka as the lone forward.
It was he that blasted the ball into the back of Oscar Cordoba’s net, after help from Appiah on the right. Hitting it past Koray Avci and running past the other side, the Frenchman scored despite the narrow angle in the 18th minute.
Anelka could have scored more as he forced Ibrahim Toraman into making stretched clearances and critical interceptions, some nearly ending up in his own goal.
Alex de Souza was close to doubling our lead in the 37th minute, but he couldn’t reach the ball that bounced in front of him in the area.
Besiktas were a lot more effective in the second half and forced us back. Onder Turaci continued his solid defensive performances of late, making good tackles at important moments of the game.
Anelka’s amazing skill at the left wing, continued with trickery into the Besiktas area, could only be stopped by Ahmed Hassan’s foul - a clear penalty awarded by Firat Aydinus. Substitute Nobre stepped up, but hit it wide of the left hand post.
Kleberson’s long shots were looking increasingly dangerous but Volkan Demirel was matching all of them, until the 90th minute when he bulleted the ball to the right of him, 1-1.
But Tuncay had the last say. Picking up the ball on the left, he cut in well, skipped past Koray’s lunge, played a one-two with Nobre in the area and poked the ball in after controlling it to go beserk with his team-mates, 2-1, justice is done.
