Fenerbahçe manager İsmail Kartal spoke as follows at the end of the match:

As I said before the match, we prepared very well for this game. A reaction was needed. That is how it turned out tonight. After it became 2-0, we had very clear chances. In the end, we knew how to win. My players, from whom I have high expectations, responded very well to my expectations on the pitch; Fred's enthusiasm and energy, and Becao returning after 4 months and playing a good game... The whole team came here believing. We wanted to win the match. I think we made the fans happy with the 3 points.

''WE KNOW THE STRUGGLE VOLKAN IS PUTTING UP''

İsmail Kartal also made statements about Hatayspor manager and his former student Volkan Demirel.

Kartal said, "Volkan Demirel is my brother, and we know very well what kind of struggle he is putting up. I wish him success in the upcoming matches. May his path be clear. All the players on the team are top-level. We are at an equal distance to everyone. They know how much we love them all. We have come a long way so far. We want to finish the season in the best way possible until the end of the season. I made these substitutions for some players to get playing time and for others to avoid wear and tear. The team gave a great reaction by taking 3 points from a difficult away game. I dedicate this victory to the Fenerbahçe fans."
