Trabzonspor back on track
After being eliminated from European competition, Trabzonspor got off to a slow start, scoring
only four goals in the first four weeks of the Turkcell Super League competition. Last week's game
against Istanbul Büyükşehir Belediyespor would see Trabzonspor score six goals, with defender
Egemen Korkmaz scoring a hat trick, as the final score there was a 6-1 road victory.
Milliyet, the Turkish daily newspaper, is reporting that Roberto Carlos will be having
his final match in a Fenerbahçe uniform. His last match for Fenerbahçe will apparently be this
week against Antalyaspor, or in week 8 against Gençlerbirliği. The 36 year old player has stated
a desire to return to Brazil from the beginning of the season to now.
Here is the schedule of matches for Week 7 of the Turkcell Super League. All matches will kick
off at 8pm local Turkish time (1 pm EST, 12 pm CST, and 10 am PST). Referee assignments are in
parenthesis.
Friday September 25th:
Gençlerbirliği – Trabzonspor (Hüseyin Göçek)
Saturday September 26th:
Antalyaspor – Fenerbahçe (Yunus Yıldırım)
Bursaspor – Diyarbakırspor (Özgüç Türkalp)
Gaziantepspor – Ankaragücü (Kuddusi Müftüoğlu)

Galatasaray – Eskişehirspor (Cüneyt Çakır)

Friday action
Only one match would be featured on Friday, as Trabzonspor would travel to the capital
Ankara to take on Gençlerbirliği. Trabzonspor would be looking to consolidate third place in the
standings. It looked likely considering that Trabzonspor scored a total of nine goals in the last
two matchdays.
