Kasımpaşa
Konyaspor
Outstanding performance
Kasımpaşa•GoalkeeperKonyaspor controlled the ball for long stretches, out-passing their hosts 415 to 363 and edging possession 53-47, but Kasımpaşa were the sharper side in the final third, generating more dangerous attacks and shots overall. Neither goalkeeper was truly beaten, though both had to be alert - Kasımpaşa's stopper made four stops to preserve the shutout. The game was littered with stoppages, with eight yellow cards handed out as tempers flared, including bookings for both managers' talismans Emre Belözoğlu and several midfield enforcers. For Kasımpaşa, sitting deep in the table, the point offers little relief given their positional struggles, while Konyaspor will be frustrated not to have converted their territorial dominance into anything more than a share of the spoils in a match with title-race stakes attached.
