Ismail Kartal’s post-match analysis of the Antalyaspor match!
Fenerbahçe smoothly navigated the Antalyaspor away encounter. After the match, Fenerbahçe's head coach, İsmail Kartal, commented on the game.

Following the 2-0 victory, Fenerbahçe‘s head coach İsmail Kartal stated, “We started the second half leading 1-0; we planned to score two or three goals at home. Sergen [Yalçın] also made substitutions to balance the game. It’s a challenging away game; Antalyaspor is a good team. I’m happy that we won.” Kartal also commented on the performance of the new transfer, Çağlar Söyüncü.
In the 24th week of the Super Lig, Fenerbahçe visited Sergen Yalçın‘s Antalyaspor. The Yellow-Canaries didn’t make any mistakes in a week where their arch-rival Galatasaray also won. They secured a 2-0 victory with goals from Cengiz Ünder and Michy Batshuayi, reclaiming the leadership position.
‘Sergen Yalçın balanced the game’
Ismail Kartal, speaking after the match, made important remarks. The experienced coach, expressing his happiness, said, “We started the game well. We applied pressure from the beginning. Until the goal, we had 2-3 clear chances. We couldn’t capitalize on them. We started the second half leading 1-0; we planned to score two or three goals at home. Sergen Yalçın also made substitutions to balance the game. We found the second goal by staying compact, and we won the match. It’s a challenging away game, Antalyaspor is a good team. I’m happy that we won.”
‘We scored the second goal, and the match was over’
The successful coach also evaluated Çağlar Söyüncü, who wore the Fenerbahçe jersey for the first time. Kartal said, “Despite being his first match, Çağlar displayed a good performance. When the opponent switched to a double striker, we also played with three center-backs in the last part. After scoring the second goal, the match was practically over.”
