Istanbul Bashakshehir, actively preparing for the second round of the Turkish Super League, played their next friendly against Croatia's Osijek. This friendly match wasn't boring for the spectators either: the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
One of the most striking moments of the match was the name of our compatriot Abbosbek Fayzullayev, who played for "Bashakshehir" in the main squad. In the 23rd minute, he managed to open the scoring, finishing the attack with extreme accuracy and composure. Abbasbek's goal boosted the team's morale and further accelerated the pace of the game.
Another Uzbekistani legionnaire, Eldor Shomurodov, also played in this match. The forward, acting in the first minutes of the game, tried to be active in attack. Despite the fact that the game was in a control format, the presence of both of our players on the field aroused special interest among Uzbek fans.
It's worth noting that these friendly matches play a crucial role for Bashakshehir in correctly developing their physical condition before the second half, testing tactical options, and strengthening their game connections. In the match against "Osiek," the team also tried a number of combinations, and in some places, defensive shortcomings were noticed, and as a result, the opponent managed to score the return goal.
Now, the official match awaits Nuri Shahin's players. Istanbul Bashakshehir will play their next match in the Turkish Cup against Boluspor. This match is scheduled for January 13th.
But the fans are waiting for one thing: if Fayzullayev found the feeling of a goal in the control match, then he's ready for an "explosion" even on the official field. Now all eyes are on the cup match.
