Injury? Akturkoglu’s late frustration in Benfica v Tondela explained | OneFootball

The moment of frustration for Kerem Akturkoglu at the end of the game against Tondela is explained. After the referee's final whistle that sealed the 3-0 victory for the Eagles over the Beira team, the Turkish international was seen kicking a ball away. The forward was called into the game as a substitute.

According to information reported by the newspaper Record, the dissatisfaction of the Eagles' 'number 7' stems from a less successful individual performance. The left winger came close to scoring on several occasions, but none of the chances resulted in the desired outcome.

Seeing their teammate's frustration at the end of the match, several Benfica players tried to console Kerem Akturkoglu in his moment of dissatisfaction. Subsequently, it was then that the international for the Turkish national team kicked a ball that was in the center circle.

This action ended up reflecting the image the player left when he entered the field. After being brought into the game by Bruno Lage, in the 67th minute, the left winger was captured by the broadcast with a smile on his face, alongside Rafael Obrador and Andreas Schjeldrup.

In the 2024/25 season, while playing for Benfica, Kerem Akturkoglu – valued at 24 million euros – appeared in 53 matches. The Eagles' winger scored 16 goals and provided 11 assists. At the start of this new season, the Turk has yet to contribute to a goal.
