Nuri Sahin calls 0-0 draw with Konyaspor fair
Basaksehir coach Nuri Sahin said his team and Konyaspor each deserved a point after their 0-0 draw in the Super Lig, according to Sabah Spor and Ajansspor.
Başakşehir conceded a 0-0 draw against Konyaspor in the Süper Lig. After the match, coach Nuri Şahin gave his analysis, as reported by Sabah Spor and Ajansspor.
A realistic analysis
According to Sabah Spor, Nuri Şahin said: "Normally, as Başakşehir, this is not something we would accept, but if I have to be realistic for today, both teams..." (truncated excerpt). Ajansspor reports that the coach felt that "both sides deserved only a point." The match ended 0-0, as indicated by Ajansspor.
A shared point
Hürriyet Spor's headline echoes the same idea: "Nuri Şahin: 'It was a match where both teams deserved 1 point!'". The three media outlets thus agree that Şahin deemed the sharing of points fair, even though Sabah Spor notes that this result is not usually satisfactory for his team.
A nuanced position
In the comments reported by Sabah Spor, Şahin acknowledges that this draw is not what Başakşehir would ordinarily accept, but he remains realistic about the shape of the match. Ajansspor, for its part, stresses that both teams deserved only one point, an analysis shared by Hürriyet Spor. The three sources thus converge on the fairness of the result, without any of them mentioning particular regret on the coach's part.
