Goztepe SK return to the home comforts of Goztepe Stadium as they face Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce on Saturday, looking to ride the wave of momentum from their emphatic opening-day statement in the Turkish Super Lig.
The Goz Goz kicked off their campaign in style with a ruthless 3-0 dismantling of Caykur Rizespor on the road, a result that has confidence soaring in Izmir. Since their pre-season curtain-raiser — a narrow 2-1 setback against CSKA Sofia — they’ve been a tough nut to crack, going five matches unbeaten and winning four of them. A big part of that success? Striking first. In each of those five outings, Goztepe have been the ones to land the opening punch.
Their next challenge comes against a Fenerbahce side buzzing from a thrilling 5-2 demolition of Feyenoord, overturning a first-leg deficit to punch their ticket to the Champions League playoffs. Archie Brown, Jhon Duran, Fred, Youssef En-Nesyri, and Anderson Talisca all found the net in what was a statement performance from Jose Mourinho’s men.
