Muğlaspor salvaged a draw in the 90+3rd minute: 2-2 against Iğdır FK

Muğlaspor, playing its first season in the Trendyol 1st League, drew 2-2 with Iğdır FK at home. The green-and-whites, who secured a point with a goal in stoppage time, extended their unbeaten streak to seven games.

After losing 2-0 on the road to Sarıyer in the season’s opening week, Muğlaspor went on to record 2 wins and 5 draws in their next 7 matches. Having drawn their last three matches, the team salvaged a 2-2 draw at home for the second time in a row in the final moments, following their match against Van Spor FK. After Osundina’s goal in the 89th minute tied the game against Van Spor, Muğlaspor this time leveled the score in the 90+3rd minute with a goal by Yasin Uzunoğlu.

Yasin, who came up from the 3rd League, came to the rescue once again

The 23-year-old Yasin Uzunoğlu, who was not on the roster last season when the team was in the Second League and played on loan for Karşıyaka in the Third League, kept his team afloat once again at a critical moment. The young player, who scored Muğlaspor’s first goals in Trendyol 1st League history during a 2-0 win over Boluspor, also found the back of the net against Van Spor FK. Uzunoğlu has scored 4 goals in the 8 matches he has played, maintaining his position as the team’s top scorer.

Koşukavak: I’m proud of my players

Muğlaspor, which entered the three-week international break in high spirits after earning 11 points in 8 league matches, saw head coach Yalçın Koşukavak remind everyone that they are a team formed in a short time, with 25 players coming together for the first time.

Koşukavak said, “I’m proud of my players. They fought with great sincerity and passion. They never gave up. It was an emotionally charged match. Of course, we make mistakes in some areas, but we’re improving every day and correcting our shortcomings. “We conceded one goal after a throw-in. On the second goal, the opposing player dribbled the ball 20–30 meters. We conceded easy goals, but we created plenty of scoring opportunities. It was a match we should have won, but we came away with just one point,” he said.

Noting that his celebration after the equalizing goal had been misunderstood, Koşukavak said, “Coaches all over the world celebrate in different ways. In that moment, you’re completely swept up in the moment because your players are fighting with such great determination. This isn’t my first time celebrating a goal; I’ve experienced this with every team I’ve coached,” he said.
