Göztepe made their early dominance count, taking the lead through Rhaldney after repeated corner pressure, and looked to have the game wrapped up when Juan doubled their advantage just past the hour mark. But Alanyaspor, who controlled 60% of the possession and completed far more passes throughout, refused to fold and hit back twice in the space of twelve second-half minutes, with Paolo Fernandes and Gaius Makouta finding the net to rescue a point. Despite dominating the ball, Alanyaspor managed just six shots to Göztepe's seven and created no big chances of their own, showing their comeback was built on resilience rather than sustained control. For Göztepe, sitting in a promising position, this will sting as two points dropped from a winning position, while Alanyaspor's late fightback offers something to build on despite their lowly standing in the table.
