Tarik Cetin Shines in First Fenerbahce match Amid Goalkeeper Crisis
Samsun, Turkey - October 5, 2025 – Tarik cetin delivered a standout performance in his debut for Fenerbahce, making five crucial saves in a goalless draw against Samsunspor in the 8th week of the Trendyol Super League. Cetin was thrust into the starting lineup due to injuries to first-choice goalkeepers Altay Bayındır, and backup Irfan Can Eğribayat, as well as Ederson.
The 28-year-old netminder proved his worth, denying Samsunspor’s Coulibaly in the 18th minute and thwarting Holse’s penalty spot attempt later in the first half. Cetin continued his strong showing throughout the match, ultimately preserving the clean sheet for fenerbahce.
Despite the positive individual performance, Cetin expressed disappointment with the result. “Before my own performance, we are sorry as a team, we came with a target of 3 points. We worked in this way, but we lost very valuable points,” Cetin stated after the match.
Fenerbahce entered the match seeking to maintain their position near the summit of the Trendyol Super League standings. The draw leaves them facing a challenge to keep pace with league leaders. Cetin’s performance, though, provides a meaningful boost as the team navigates its goalkeeper injury situation.
