Outstanding performance
Alanyaspor•GoalkeeperRizespor dominated the ball and territory throughout, racking up 65% possession, 21 shots to Alanyaspor's 9, and a 68-44 dominance rating, yet found themselves undone by their own defensive error. Alanyaspor sat compact, absorbed pressure, and made the most of a rare foray forward when Zakaria Ariss inadvertently turned the ball into his own net after Elia Meschack's blocked effort in the 70th minute. Despite creating more big chances (4 to Rizespor's 2) and being far more clinical when it mattered, Alanyaspor's goalkeeper also played a role, racking up 5 saves to keep the hosts at bay. The result is a damaging one for Rizespor, whose statistical dominance counted for nothing, while Alanyaspor will take the three points as a reward for defensive discipline and ruthless efficiency despite committing 15 fouls and struggling for control.

Kick-off! The referee is Abdullah Bugra Taskınsoy.
Çaykur Rizespor host Alanyaspor at the Didi Stadyumu looking to build on their recent form and climb the early-season table. With both sides showing inconsistency but Rizespor riding a stronger recent run, the hosts go in as slight favorites in what's expected to be a tight, low-scoring affair.
