Having tasted victory in the previous three matches, Bashakshehir once again started the game attackingly and delighted the fans with an early goal. In the 19th minute, Eldor Shomurodov calmly completed a pass from the left wing and put the ball into the net - the score was opened.
But the guests also did not intend to give up. In the 45+1st minute of added time to the first half, Taha Shahin leveled the score with a precise shot, and the teams came in with a draw at halftime.
In the second half, a fighting spirit prevailed on the field, not a "compromise": both sides launched dangerous attacks, and the situation escalated. As a result, the teams scored one more goal each, and the match ended with a score of 2:2. For "Rizespor," Mikhai Mikhayle (68') put the visitors ahead with a goal, while "Bashakshehir's" second goal was scored by Ozgyur Yildirim (74').
With 30 points after 20 matches, the Istanbul team currently sits in 6th place in the league table. With 20 points in 20 games, Rizespor sits in 11th place.
The most pleasant thing is the consistent performance of our national team captain Shomurodov in the goal-scoring race. Our forward leads with 13 goals, alongside Trabzonspor's Nigerian forward Paul Onuachu. So, the war for the "Golden Boot" is now intensifying, and Eldor is taking a very confident step in this war for now.
