Matchday two of the Trendyol SüperLig delivered high drama at the Gürsel Aksel Stadium, where Göztepe and Fenerbahçe played out a goalless draw in a clash defined by red cards, heated protests, and a missed last-minute penalty.

The result leaves José Mourinho’s side with just one point from two games, while Stanimir Stoilov’s men reach four points after a night where controversy and intensity took center stage.

Three red cards in Izmir chaos

The game appeared under control until the 61st minute, when Juan da Silva received his second yellow card, reducing Göztepe to ten men. Just four minutes later, substitute İsmail Köybaşı was also sent off from the bench for vehement protests, deepening the hosts’ troubles.

Tensions escalated again in the 85th minute when Fenerbahçe’s Jayden Oosterwolde was dismissed after a second booking, leaving both sides with ten men and turning the closing stages into a frantic, nervy exchange.

Talisca misses from the spot

The decisive moment came in stoppage time. In the 90+4 minute, a foul on Cenk Tosun inside the box prompted referee Yasin Kol to consult VAR and award a penalty to Fenerbahçe.

The responsibility fell to Anderson Talisca, but the Brazilian saw his effort brilliantly saved by goalkeeper Lis, who dived to his left to preserve the draw and send the home crowd into jubilation.

What’s next

With the 0-0 draw, Fenerbahçe sit on just one point at the start of the season and will host Kocaelispor next, desperate to claim their first win. Göztepe, buoyed by their resilience, will travel to face Fatih Karagümrük after earning what felt like a moral victory against one of the league’s top contenders.

A match that could have been settled from the spot instead ended as a tale of red cards, controversy, and a goalkeeper’s heroics.
