Göztepe hands Başakşehir critical loss

ANKARA- Anadolu Agency

Medipol Başakşehir was defeated by Göztepe 2-0 on April 26 evening in Turkey's top tier football league, jeopardizing the top spot it has been holding for many weeks.

Göztepe's goal came in 7th minute by Jerome and in 85th minute with Deniz Kadah.

Two goals scored by Başakşehir were disallowed after checking with Video Assistant Referee (VAR).

The loss massively hurt current league leaders, as they only won once in the last five weeks, losing 10 points in total.

Başakşehir was left with 62 points after the loss.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, have a great chance to take over the top spot as the team are only three points behind the leaders with 59 points.

If Galatasaray wins against Konyaspor on April 29, it will topple Başakşehir to grab top spot with only four weeks to go.
