Outstanding performance
Kocaelispor•DefenderKonyaspor took a fortunate lead through Tanguy Zoukrou's own goal in first-half stoppage time, but their advantage was built on sand rather than dominance, as Kocaelispor had already begun to control possession and territory. The turning point came just after the restart when Enis Bardhi, introduced at half-time, was sent off within two minutes for a foul, and playing a man light for over 40 minutes eventually told. Massadio Haïdara leveled things in the 72nd minute, and substitute Metehan Altunbaş, assisted by Manuel Luis Da Silva Cafumana, won it late on. The numbers tell the story of Kocaelispor's second-half squeeze: 34 dangerous attacks to Konyaspor's 18, 11 shots to 8 with five on target against none, and a goalkeeper in Konyaspor's net forced into four saves while his counterpart barely had to move.
