Outstanding performance
Rizespor•GoalkeeperEyüpspor dominated the underlying numbers with 26 shots to Rizespor's 9 and a huge dominance rating of 69 to 45, but they had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. Ali Sowe punished a lapse in the 21st minute, converting after Iustin Doicaru's assist following two earlier offside flags that had briefly interrupted Rizespor's rhythm. The game turned decisively just before the break when Valentin Mihăilă saw red in the 44th minute, leaving Eyüpspor to play the entire second half a man down despite already trailing. Rizespor made the extra man count only in stoppage time, as substitute Emrecan Bulut sealed it in the 90th minute, rounding off a night where wastefulness in front of goal - just 5 shots on target from 26 attempts - cost the hosts dearly despite creating more danger and winning far more corners.
