Player ratings

Ilhan Fakili runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Muhammed Şengezer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Umraniyespor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Umraniyespor against Sivasspor

0‑1 to Sivasspor, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Cebio Soukou gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Tomislav Glumac knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Umraniyespor, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Andrej Đokanović

A mark of 5.60 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Market

Toheeb Kosoko asks to leave Umraniyespor

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Muhammed Şengezer in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Umraniyespor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Ilhan Fakili the difference as Umraniyespor beat Alanyaspor

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ilhan Fakili. 2‑1 against Alanyaspor, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

One of those days for Ilhan Fakili

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.98, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Benny

Marked 8.61 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

No hiding place for Serkan Göksu

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Serkan Göksu, and the manager let it.

Market

The shop window has Serkan Göksu in it

Umraniyespor have let the market know Serkan Göksu can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad

Burak Öksüz knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Burak Öksüz trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Player ratings

Cebio Soukou runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 10. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Umraniyespor

Cebio Soukou was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Umraniyespor and Cebio Soukou are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market

The clock runs on Serkan Göksu's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market

Toheeb Kosoko told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Toheeb Kosoko has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Umraniyespor.

Market

Experience through the door at Umraniyespor

Mariano Cristaldo arrives at 33 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.

Squad

A wage question at Umraniyespor

Cebio Soukou has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.
