Smeltz Debuts in Turkey

Shane Smeltz made his debut for new Turkish club Genclerbirligi this morning. There was a start, but no goals for the All White striker, who was replaced after 70 minutes. But at least Genclerbirligi enjoyed its first win of the season, 2-1 over Istanbul BB, thanks to a dubious penalty and a late headed goal from a corner. After four games, Genclerbirligi are 11th of 18 sides in the Turkish Super League.
