Especially in the 4th quarter we played great defense, which allowed us to run.
We didn’t play perfectly but we pressed the defense, played smart and got the win. We found the good situations and Yurtseven. We continued like this, we pressed the ball, Osman played in the “4” and helped us in the pressure, while offensively we played smart.”
