Outstanding performance

İstanbul Başakşehir were ruthless from the first whistle, with Eldor Shomurodov striking inside five minutes to set the tone before Bertuğ Yıldırım doubled the advantage before the half-hour mark, effectively killing the contest by mid-first-half. The statistics tell a story of near-total dominance — 68 percent possession, 14 shots to Kasımpaşa's five, and seven big chances created against none — painting the picture of a side entirely in control from start to finish. Kasımpaşa's task became insurmountable when Rodrigo Becão was dismissed for a professional foul on the stroke of half-time, reducing them to ten men and removing any slim hope of a second-half rally. Substitute Davie Selke added a third on 81 minutes and Shomurodov completed his brace six minutes later, wrapping up a comprehensive three points that reinforces Başakşehir's push for European qualification while leaving Kasımpaşa's survival hopes in serious jeopardy.
