Fenerbahçe slip up, only Benfica and two clubs remain unbeaten | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe’s unbeaten run in the Turkish championship has come to an end after 26 matchdays. As a result, Benfica now joins the exclusive group of teams still undefeated in their respective national leagues this sporting season: Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) and Klaksvík (Faroe Islands).

The team featuring Kerem Akturkoglu, a former player of the Eagles, lost 2-0 away to Fatih Karagumruk, thus recording their first defeat in the competition after a run marked by 16 wins and nine draws.

The home side secured their victory during the first half. Bartug Elmaz opened the scoring in the 15th minute and Serginho extended the lead in stoppage time of the first half, at 45+1’, with both goals coming from corner kicks.

Kerem Akturkoglu also started the match in Fenerbahçe’s starting eleven, but was unable to prevent his team’s defeat. Despite finishing the game with 68% possession and 16 shots, the visiting side only managed to get four attempts on target.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray can take advantage of their rival’s slip to increase their lead at the top of the table if they beat İstanbul Başakşehir in the next round. The Club of Light, together with Slavia Prague and Klaksvík, are the only unbeaten teams this season in their respective leagues.
