Joseph Attamah triumphs over John Boye in Turkish Cup

Talented Ghanaian defender Joseph Attamah was commanding in defence for Istanbul as they defeated John Boye's Sivasspor in the Turkish Cup on Tuesday night.

Attamah, a former Tema Youth and Ghana U20 defender, played the entire 90 minutes but John Boye was replaced after 63 minutes at the Terim Stadyumu as an own-goal from Kocak and Napoleoni propelled the league leaders to victory.

Istanbul recorded their second win of Group F in the competition while Boye and his Sivasspor side have lost both of their opening games.

Attamah is becoming influential in defence for the Superlig leaders.

He joined Istanbul from second-tier side Adana Demirspor and is gradually warming himself into regular playing spot.
