Karşıyaka secured its first position in the playoff bracket this season following a narrow 84-83 victory over Beşiktaş in the seventh week of the Basketbol Süper Ligi.
The win at the Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Karşıyaka Sports Hall marks a two-game winning streak for the Izmir-based club. This follows a previous away victory against Bursaspor.
The victory moved Karşıyaka to 8th place in the league standings. The team’s current record through seven weeks stands at four wins and three losses.
“This was a very important match for us,” Markovic said. “Playing in a full hall and experiencing this atmosphere with our fans was truly our dream.”
“We were in the game from the beginning to the end. At times, especially during a five-minute period, we played bad basketball, but we fought very well on the court for 40 minutes,” Markovic said.
The one-point margin of victory was critical for Karşıyaka’s climb into the top eight of the Basketbol Süper Ligi. The team now shifts its focus to an upcoming away fixture.
Karşıyaka is scheduled to visit Bandırma next week. The club aims to secure a third win to improve its position further in the standings.
