Following this precious victory our Technical Director, Jean Tigana made these comments regarding the game:

\"I am delighted that we won today. It sure was a difficult game for us because we played a 120 minute derby with Fenerbahçe only two days ago. We had very little time to rest. But despite of being tired, my players gave everything they got and supported each other until the final whistle. I am also quite happy that İbrahim Akın scored today. He had a rough period but worked hard and came back with superb goal. Now we will rest a day and start getting ready for our derby game at the weekend.\"
