In a dynamic encounter at Yeni Rize Sehir Stadium, Caykur Rizespor seized a decisive 3-1 victory over Alanyaspor in the Super Lig. The host team demonstrated clinical finishing despite having similar shot statistics to their opponents—both teams registered five shots on target. However, Caykur Rizespor’s efficiency was evident as they converted three of these efforts into goals. Particularly noteworthy was Rachid Ghezzal’s contribution, as his goal and assist played pivotal roles in securing the win. The away side, while managing to find the net once via a penalty by Andraz Sporar, failed to capitalize on their chances, exemplified by their eight shots off target.

The mid-game adjustments and strategic collaborations from the home team facilitated the turning point post-equalizer. Alanyaspor brought the game level with Sporar’s spot-kick, but Rizespor responded impressively. Rachid Ghezzal's mix of playmaking and scoring allowed Rizespor to regain the lead shortly after, assisted by an astute pass from Taha Sahin. Once in control, Rizespor continued to press Alanyaspor, manifesting their tactical superiority and eventually cushioning their lead through an Ibrahim Olawoyin goal assisted by Berkay Ozcan within the second half.

Defensively, both teams maintained discipline, with neither side receiving red cards. Nevertheless, player discipline played a role, with the home team incurring two yellow cards compared to Alanyaspor's single booking. This aggression was mirrored in the high number of fouls, with Rizespor committing 17 against Alanyaspor's 16, indicating an evenly physical contest. Despite this, Rizespor's ability to balance aggression with effective teamwork and attacking accuracy proved crucial in their successful result. Thus, the matchup demonstrated that while defensive cohesion remains essential, the ability to execute in attacking scenarios decisively impacts the final scoreline.
