“Ousmane Diabate scores from close range after a corner is worked short, giving Gençlerbirliği the lead following Franco Tongya's blocked shot moments earlier.”
Pivotal“Tempers flare as Ousmane Diabate and Kasımpaşa's Metin Diyadin both pick up yellow cards within a minute of each other, reflecting the game's growing intensity.”
“Adrian Benedyczak levels for Kasımpaşa moments after coming on, capping a spell of pressure following a flurry of substitutions and a near-miss from Ali Yavuz Kol.”

Outstanding performance
Kasımpaşa•AttackerGençlerbirliği looked to have laid the platform for a home win when Ousmane Diabate converted from a corner-kick scramble in the 23rd minute, and for long stretches their higher shot count and aggressive tackling suggested they'd hold on. But Kasımpaşa's superior control of the ball - 57% possession and 326 passes to their hosts' 233 - eventually told, with fresh substitutes changing the game's rhythm after the break. Adrian Benedyczak's equalizer in the 79th minute, arriving moments after a double substitution injected energy into the away side, was the turning point, and Kasımpaşa completed the comeback soon after to steal all three points on the road. For Gençlerbirliği, wasteful finishing despite five shots on target and a missed big chance will sting, while Kasımpaşa's clinical use of limited opportunities - just two big chances created but two goals scored - underlines a result built on efficiency rather than dominance.
