Fenerbahçe lose to Göztepe after taking the lead
Fenerbahçe went into half time 1-0 up against Göztepe but left the pitch beaten 2-1. Unable to hold on to leads in many of the matches where they have gone in front this season, the yellow-navy side remain on 16 points in the league.
In Week 10 of the Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe hosted Göztepe at home. The first half at Chobani Stadium was calm. In the first half's added time, in the 45+1st minute, Matteo Guendouzi's goal gave Fenerbahçe a 1-0 lead at half time.
In the second half, the yellow-navy side dropped back into defence and could not stop Armstrong's goal in the 76th minute. Two minutes later, Henrique's goal put Göztepe 2-1 ahead, and Fenerbahçe left the pitch beaten by that score.
With this result, the team reached 16 points from 10 matches and remained 9 points behind league leader Galatasaray. After Göztepe's go-ahead goal, anger from the stands was directed at the club's management.
Fenerbahçe have been losing crucial points in matches where they take the lead this season. In the league, they went ahead in all three of their games against Gençlerbirliği, Beşiktaş and Göztepe, but lost each one 2-1. In the Champions League, they led Slavia Prague 2-0 but drew 2-2, and they lost 2-1 away to Galatasaray.
Guendouzi scored his second goal of the season. His first came in the 8-0 win over Eyüpspor, and this goal also had an impact by putting his team ahead.
