Kasimpasa edged Fatih Karagümrük 3-2 at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium, with a first-half opener followed by a rapid second-half push. Kerem Demirbay put the hosts ahead in the 18th minute after an assist from Mortadha Ben Ouanes. The lead was extended in the second half as Cenk Tosun (01:01:09) and Irfan Can Kahveci (01:10:14) found the net, before Karagümrük struck back through Filip Mladenović (01:19:15) and Ahmed Traore (01:31:38).

The distribution of assists highlights Kasimpasa’s central spine in attack: Mortadha Ben Ouanes set up the opener, while Irfan Can Kahveci supplied the assists for both the Tosun and Kahveci goals and Adrian Benedyczak also contributed to the build-up for the third. This pattern shows a cohesive link between wide players and the midfield engine, with Kahveci repeatedly unlocking the visitor’s defense in the middle third.

Karagümrük’s late reply underlined their attacking intent, as Mladenović’s strike came after a Larsson setup (Mladenović scoring at 01:19:15 with Larsson providing the assist at 01:20:00), and Traore completed the comeback with a late finish (01:31:38) after Verde’s pass (01:32:00). The two goals in quick succession demonstrated resilience and a willingness to push numbers forward after falling behind.

From a shooting perspective, Kasimpasa held the edge in on-target efficiency, with 6 shots on target from 12 attempts versus Karagümrük’s 4 on target from 11 attempts. The home side therefore converted a higher share of their chances, even as Karagümrük generated more off-target efforts and remained dangerous in transition.

Defensively, Kasimpasa committed 20 fouls to Karagümrük’s 8 and collected four yellow cards to Karagümrük’s two, with no dismissals on either side. Corner activity was modest (Kasimpasa 2, Karagümrük 3) and there were no direct set-piece goals recorded, suggesting the result stemmed more from open play and break pressing than from dead-ball exploits. Offsides favored Karagümrük (3 to 1), indicating they attempted more line-breaking runs that Kasimpasa were able to neutralize for long stretches.

Tactically, Kasimpasa’s approach leaned on their creative hub—Kahveci in particular—to drive the attacking rhythm and feed a varied front line, with Mortadha’s early assist setting the tone. Karagümrük demonstrated composure and guile in the second half, using late transitions to threaten the goal repeatedly, though the initial deficit constrained their overall chances. For bettors, the key takeaway is Kasimpasa’s efficiency in converting a portion of their chances and a disciplined, albeit aggressive, defensive stance that weathered an extended surge from the visitors.
