Turkey the Cup

The Cup – for a second consecutive year entirely provincial final. Eskisehirspor vs Genclerbirligi. The final was again two-legged after going to single match in 1986. All was decided in the opening leg in Ankara, where the home team destroyed the visitors 5-0. In Eskisehir the hosts won, but it was clear Eskisehirspor would not be able to win the trophy: 2-1. Genclerbirligi won the Cup and took it back to Ankara.
Eskisehir had won the Cup once – in 1971 – but desire for second trophy was not enough. As a compensation, Eskisehirspor was going to represent Turkey (along with Samsunspor) in the Balkans Cup.
This was the greatest moment in the history of Genclerbirligi so far – they won their first trophy! The first match was truly decisive and also became historic: this was the biggest win in Cup final. So far, the largest result was 3-0. Great success in every aspect: it was the first ever trophy for Genclerbirligi, placing them on almost equal footing with their Ankara rivals MKE Ankaragucu, which had 2 Cups so far. It was just a matter of time and luck to come even, if not besting the enemy. Wonderful moment for the winners.
