Owusu Kwabena sent off as Ankaragücü falls to Ümraniyespor

Owusu Kwabena

Ankaragücü suffered a 2-1 defeat against Ümraniyespor in a fiery 1. Lig encounter on Sunday, with Ghanaian forward Owusu Kwabena seeing red in the dying moments.

The visitors took an early lead in the seventh minute when Dorin Rotariu coolly slotted past the Ümraniyespor goalkeeper. However, the home side responded through Bernardo Sousa, who rifled in an equalizer in the 25th minute to restore parity.

Both teams battled for control after the break, but it was Sousa again who made the difference, grabbing his second of the match in the 48th minute to put Ümraniyespor ahead. Ankaragücü pushed for a response, but their hopes were dashed in stoppage time when Kwabena was sent off for violent conduct, reducing his side to ten men.

The loss leaves Ankaragücü frustrated as they look to bounce back in their upcoming Turkish Cup clash against Rizespor on February 5. Meanwhile, Ümraniyespor celebrates a crucial victory as they climb the league standings.
