This weekend was another match day. My team, Sariyer, had won three consecutive games in the last three weeks and was starting to climb up the standings. Their opponent, Corumspor, was a strong team in the league with a very good squad.
This match was crucial for Sariyer to secure a playoff spot to reach the Super League. A win would have put them just three points away from the playoffs.
The opposing team's fans had already taken their seats. Sariyer's supporters filled a large part of the stadium.
The match started evenly, with both teams testing each other. The referee awarded a penalty in an unrelated situation, and Corumspor went into halftime 1-0 ahead. Although Sariyer tried to equalize in the second half, they couldn't capitalize on their chances. The opponent won another penalty and went 2-0 up. Sariyer scored a goal in the final seconds, and the match ended 1-2.
Sariyer lost three very important points. They will also face a very tough away game next week. I hope they continue to accumulate points.
