Göztepe Secures Third Straight Win

Göztepe, who had failed to win in their first six league matches and had dropped into the relegation zone with three points, made a big comeback after the international break. The yellow-reds beat Eyüpspor 4-0 away and Kocaelispor 2-1. They then beat Arca Çorum FK 2-0 at home, earning three wins in a row for the first time this season. Raising their total to 12 points, the team reached this streak for the first time since last season.

In goal, Arda Özçimen has not lost in the last five matches in which he started. The young keeper made important saves in the Çorum match, especially in the closing stages. Brazilian star Juan has also returned to form, scoring six goals in his last seven matches. After finding himself on the bench earlier this season, Juan continues to be decisive in the team's attack with his goals.

Head coach Stanimir Stoilov said the result is very valuable for the team and stressed that the players must stay grounded. Stoilov highlighted how important the support of the fans is to the club. He also said he was not satisfied with the performance of the players who came on as substitutes and stated that bench players must enter the game with more determination.

Göztepe also had positive results in its other sports branches. The women's volleyball team beat Beşiktaş 3-1 in the Sultanlar League to earn their second win of the season. The basketball team lost 90-88 away to Konya Büyükşehir Belediyespor. Gymnast Mehmet Ayberk Koşak also finished sixth in the rings final at the World Championships.
