ISTANBUL - A brace of goals to Bobo has opened the Fortis Turkish Cup semifinal door wide open for Beşiktaş.
The Brazilian striker struck twice in Wednesday’s quarterfinal first leg game against Antalyaspor to give a huge advantage to the Black Eagles.
It was the fourth win in four games for Beşiktaş since the start of this season. Remembering that his side will meet Antalya in the League this weekend, coach Mustafa Denizli said that he wanted his players to continue their streak. "I hope that this does not cause complacency," he said.
The cup’s return game will be played in Istanbul next Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe won an otherwise tight encounter in the quarterfinals. A 43rd minute header by Deivid De Souza won the game for Fener, giving the Yellow Canaries an edge before next week’s return game against Bursaspor.
"The final score is not a good result, but not bad at all, given that we still have hopes for the second game," said Bursaspor coach Ertuğrul Sağlam. "We have the power and quality to get the ticket to the semifinals in the return game in Bursa."
