Today will be the final match of the Cup of Turkey between Akhisar and Fenerbahce.
Akhisar - Fenerbahce Fourth, 20:30, Diyarbakir, Diyarbakir Stadium.
Akhisar Beledesispor is relatively young club, which this year was only 48 years old. It is not surprising that such a club does not have significant trophies. Their only victory at the pro level - the championship in the second Turkish division in 2012, after which they first went to the Super League and so it still does not leave.
Earlier, the best result in the Cup of Turkey in Akhisar had two quarters in the quarterfinals in the previous two seasons. In the same season, they easily passed into the quarter finals, where they met with the representative of the elite division - Kayserispor (1: 0, 2: 2). In the semi-final, the opponent was more serious - Galatasaray. But then Evgeniy Seleznev entered the game, he scored three times in two matches, and brought his team to the final.
The way Fenerbahce to the finals was very interesting - they did not even finish the semi-finals. After the quarterfinals against Giresunspor Dmitry Korkishko, in 1/2 the opponent was Besiktas. The first match ended in a 2: 2 combat draw with three expulsions, and the second one was not finished at all. Fans of the club broke their heads to the head coach of the "black eagles", after which the referees stopped the match. The Football Federation decided that the match should be finished, and Besiktas refused. The result, a technical defeat and a pass to Fener in the finals, where the "canaries" can win the 35th trophy in their history.
The match itself will take place in the city of Diyarbakir in the new, open this year 33-thousandth stadium of the club Amed, which fights for survival in the second Turkish division.
