Hüseyin Eroğlu: "We are sorry for the points we lost"

Gençlerbirliği suffered a 2-1 away defeat to Gaziantep Football Club in the third week of the Trendyol Super League, conceding a penalty in the final minutes. This result marked Gaziantep FK's first league victory, while Gençlerbirliği, still without a point, suffered their third defeat in their third match. Speaking at the post-match press conference, Gençlerbirliği manager Hüseyin Eroğlu expressed his disappointment at the loss. Eroğlu said, "We wanted to leave here with points or a win. We wanted to win with our game plan. We scored from a set piece in the first half. We made a mistake by staying too defensive. We conceded a goal in the last minute, and we went into halftime 1-1. We could have scored after the 60th minute, and we had a chance, but we couldn't capitalize. We couldn't control the ball. We hung on too long in defense. We conceded a penalty in the last minute. We're upset. We're a new team, and our opponent is very experienced in this league. We have injured players, and that affected us greatly. We're upset about the points we lost. We have a Fenerbahçe match next week. We want to recover, focus on that match, and go into the international break with a happy streak. We congratulate the Gaziantep team on their victory."
