Fenerbahçe manager Ismail Kartal has complained about the state of the pitch following the 2-1 loss against Gençlerbirliği in the Süper Lig.

“We started the game well but the pitch was of a poor standard,” Kartal told Lig Tv after the game.

The Fenerbahçe boss did however, praise his opponents following the defeat.

“Our opponents put up a real fight but we squandered too many chances, we should have converted our chances,” he added.
