Matteo Guendouzi, who scored in the match, also lost possession in a moment that proved expensive for Fenerbahçe, according to Hürriyet. The French midfielder acknowledged the gravity of the situation afterwards, saying: "We are in a very difficult position. We have to do better to get out of this."
Fellow player Kojo Oppong also spoke to the press following the defeat, with both players' comments reflecting a mood of concern within the squad.
Fenerbahçe's squad is valued at €249m according to FootVal, against Göztepe's €67.1m, making the defeat a significant upset. Guendouzi, valued at €26m by FootVal, has made ten appearances this season, scoring twice, but has now been directly linked to errors in defeat.
