Defensive rock preserves Gençlerbirliği clean sheet in İstanbul

Dimitris Goutas marshalled the back line superbly as Gençlerbirliği drew 0-0 at Kasımpaşa. His aerial command and last-ditch interventions steadied the visitors through a tight Süper Lig tie.

Early on, Goutas set the tone by winning duels and clearing danger whenever Kasımpaşa advanced, ensuring the penalty area stayed orderly under pressure.

After the restart, he continued to dominate his box, stepping in front of crosses and relieving pressure with decisive headers as the hosts pushed for a late breakthrough.

He finished with eight clearances, four aerials won and 40 accurate passes from 46, numbers that underlined how his positioning and timing took the sting out of Kasımpaşa's attacks.
