Trabzonspor's poor run of form continued tonight with a goalless draw against Malatyaspor.
Milosevski saves
Despite dominating possession, Trabzonspor could not make it tell against resilient and often lucky opponents. Malatyaspor's goalkeeper Petar Milosevski had to make first-half saves from Hami Mandirali's free-kick and Aurelio's drive from the edge of the area.
Touched against the bar
Aurelio almost headed a winner with 12 minutes remaining, but his effort was touched against the crossbar and behind. Trabzonspor are traditionally viewed as Turkey's fourth biggest club, but they are struggling in mid-table this season.
