Football: Goztepe hand Basaksehir critical loss

By Satuk Bugra Kutlugun

ANKARA (AA) - Medipol Basaksehir were defeated by Goztepe 2-0 on Friday evening in Turkey's top tier football league, jeopardizing the top spot they have been holding for many weeks.

Goztepe's goal came in 7th minute by Jerome and in 85th minute with Deniz Kadah. Two goals scored by Basaksehir were disallowed after checking with Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

The loss massively hurt current league leaders, as they only won once in the last five weeks, losing 10 points in total. Basaksehir were left with 62 points after the loss.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, have a great chance to take over the top spot as the team are only three points behind the leaders with 59 points.

If Galatasaray win against Konyaspor on Monday evening, they will topple Basaksehir to grab top spot with only four weeks to go.
