Fenerbahçe secured a valuable victory on the 22nd matchday of the Super Lig, winning 2-0 away at Alanyaspor. This victory allows the Istanbul club to close the gap on leaders Galatasaray, who, however, have a game in hand. A significant performance in the race for the title.
Deprived of their star striker, Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri, suspended for accumulating yellow cards, Fenerbahçe showed resilience despite the absence of their top scorer. Portuguese coach José Mourinho once again showed his ability to innovate but also had to deal with a new injury in defense. After Çağlar Söyüncü’s injury, who was forced off in the 9th minute and replaced by Sofyan Amrabat, the team had to adjust their defensive line. The former Fiorentina player quickly stood out.
Amrabat delivered a solid performance in central defense. In the 32nd minute, he made an excellent defensive move, preventing Fatih Aksoy from shooting in the box, thus helping to keep his team in the lead. His strong performance was a key element in Fenerbahçe’s victory, as they continue their fight for the top of the Super Lig.
