Tarik Cetin Shines in First Fenerbahce match Amid Goalkeeper Crisis
Samsun, Turkey โ- October 5, โค2025 – Tarik cetin delivered a standout performance in his debut for Fenerbahce,โ making five crucial saves โin a goalless draw against โSamsunspor in โtheโ 8th weekโฃ of the Trendyol Super League. Cetin โคwas thrust into the starting lineup due โto injuries to first-choice goalkeepers Altay Bayฤฑndฤฑr, and backup Irfan Can Eฤribayat, as well asโ Ederson.
The 28-year-oldโข netminder proved his worth, denying Samsunspor’s Coulibaly in the 18th minute and thwarting Holse’s penalty spot attempt laterโ in โthe first half. Cetin continued his strongโค showing throughout the match, ultimately preserving theโข clean sheet for fenerbahce.
Despite โtheโฃ positive individual performance, Cetinโฃ expressed disappointment with the result. “Before my ownโ performance, we are โsorry as a team, we came with a target of โค3 points. We worked in this way, butโ we lost very valuableโ points,” Cetin statedโฃ after the match.
Fenerbahceโ entered theโ match seeking to maintain their โฃposition near the summit of the Trendyol Super โขLeague standings. The draw leaves them facing a challengeโข to keep pace โคwith league leaders. Cetin’sโ performance, โฃthough, provides a meaningful boost as the team navigates its goalkeeper injury โฃsituation.
