Azmi played most of the 2-2 draw with Ankaragucu on Saturday, along with compatriot Ayman Abdul-Aziz, who is on loan from Zamalek.

"I am very happy with the coach's (Ziya Dogan) confidence in me. He gave me a starting role even though I have just joined the team," Azmi told FilGoal.com.

"I had a good game against Ankaragucu. They scored from two set pieces, so our defense was fine during the game."

Azmi and Abdul-Aziz will visit Trabzonspor in the second round of the Turkish league next week.
