Esenler Erokspor delivered a commanding away performance to secure a crucial 4-1 victory over İstanbulspor in this 1. Lig encounter. After Recep Niyaz's early opener, İstanbulspor briefly leveled through Muhammed Mert, but Guélor Kanga's penalty just before the half-hour mark restored Esenler's advantage. The visitors controlled proceedings after the break, with substitute Hamza Čataković adding the decisive third goal in the 86th minute before Elvin Mendy's late dismissal for a second yellow card summed up İstanbulspor's frustrating evening. This emphatic result will significantly boost Esenler Erokspor's promotion aspirations while leaving İstanbulspor to regroup after a disappointing home defeat.
