Bursaspor takes league lead following victory over Batman Petrolspor
Following a 2-0 victory against Batman Petrolspor in the Trendyol 1. Lig, Bursaspor has moved to the top of the league standings. The match, held at the 16 Mayıs City Stadium, saw Bursaspor secure the win through two goals by Kelechi Iheanacho in the 60th and 85th minutes.
The match was marked by tension as Batman Petrolspor manager Selçuk Şahin reacted angrily to the Bursaspor players' celebrations in the stadium corridors. Şahin reportedly confronted the opposing team and technical staff, with witnesses stating he had to be calmed by police and others.
In the wake of the match, AK Party Artvin Deputy Faruk Çelik announced that a new support campaign for Bursaspor is being prepared, with further details expected next Wednesday. This follows recent sponsorship news involving Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, which recently integrated BESAŞ and BURFAŞ logos into the club's kit.
