Some would clarify that Basaksehir suffered a shock 3-0 defeat against Malatyaspor in their opening Super Lig campaign, however, Malatyaspor have set their eyes on a top-four finish so the final result was no shock to the home crowd at the Malatya arena.
Malatyaspor beat last seasons runners up in an organized game plan which was executed by Sergen Yalcin’s students to perfection.
Guilherme opened the scoring for the home side on 68 minutes, Adis Jahovic put the game out of reach after scoring his sides second goal on 87 minutes and Fofana added a third in the second minute of additional time. Basaksehir new Head coach Okan Buruk will have some soul searching to do in his next fixture as the team will be without star player Irfan Can due to receiving a red card.
