Outstanding performance
Eyüpspor•DefenderEyüpspor dominated the underlying numbers, racking up 63% possession and 41 dangerous attacks to Alanyaspor's 18, but it was a scrappy, dramatic afternoon rather than a comfortable procession. Arda Usluoğlu's first-minute strike stunned the hosts before Ahmed Abdullahi restored parity just before the break, capitalising on a spilled Alanyaspor chance from a corner. The game turned decisively just after halftime when Özhan Pulat was sent off for arguing, leaving Eyüpspor to press their numerical advantage against ten men for the remainder of the contest. Despite the extra man and three big chances missed, Eyüpspor couldn't find the breakthrough until the very last kick, with Zak Jules - Alanyaspor's own scorer of the equaliser - inadvertently setting up the winning sequence before Eyüpspor snatched victory in the 90th minute, a result that will sting Alanyaspor given they defended resiliently with 8 tackles and held out for so long a man down.
