Musa and Benatia’s Fatih Karagumruk bow to 10-man Besiktas

The Super Eagles captain played from start to finish but could not prevent the Black Red from suffering their first defeat of the 2021-22 campaign

Fatih Karagumruk’s impressive start in the 2021-22 Turkish Super Lig season came to an end following a 1-0 defeat to Besiktas on Saturday night.

Parading Nigeria’s Ahmed Musa and Morocco’s Medhi Benatia, the Black Red were unable to overcome Sergen Yalcin’s men - who played with ten men for majority of the second half.

Both teams came into the game having settled for 0-0 draws their last time out. For Karagumruk, they travelled to Istanbul’s Vodafone Park – hoping to extend their unbeaten run.
