Pivotal
İstanbul Başakşehir
Kasımpaşa
İstanbul Başakşehir dominated the underlying numbers, controlling 65% possession and racking up 51 dangerous attacks to Kasımpaşa's 16, but couldn't turn that superiority into a second goal. Shomurodov's 18th-minute strike, set up by Umut Bozok following a save and resulting corner, looked like it might be enough as the hosts dictated tempo with 540 passes at 88% accuracy. But Kasımpaşa, who managed just 10 shots and two on target all game, showed resilience off the bench, and after Shomurodov rattled the post with a header at 78', substitute Fousseni Diabaté punished the hosts moments later to snatch a point. For Başakşehir, sitting mid-table, this will feel like two points lost given their control of the game; for Kasımpaşa, it's a gritty away result built on defensive discipline and a well-timed sucker punch.
