The Goztepe team led by Stanimir Stoilov recorded a new prestigious result, after drawing 1:1 on their visit to the title-fighting giant Fenerbahçe in a match from the 19th round of the Turkish championship, Sportal.bg reported.
Thus, Murray's team will certainly maintain fourth place in the standings, lagging only behind Trabzonspor, the "Fenerites" and the champion and leader Galatasaray. Göztepe stops Fenerbahçe for the second time this season, after the first match between them in Izmir again ended in a draw - 0:0.
The goals now fell by the middle of the first half. Dorjeles Nene put the hosts ahead in the 17th minute, but seven minutes later Brazilian Janderson equalized.
After Göztepe's goal, the visitors had two good chances to even take the lead, with goalkeeper Ederson saving one and the post helping him in the other after Kurtulan's clearance.
However, Fenerbahçe's players had more chances, and they were particularly active in the second half, but Murray's defense held.
