In a closely contested Super Lig encounter at Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium, Goztepe SK secured a 2-1 victory over Kasimpasa. Despite conceding the first goal through an unfortunate own goal by Ahmed Ildiz in the first half, Goztepe's resilience was commendable. Kasimpasa quickly leveled just after the break, with Mortadha Ben Ouanes capitalizing on a precise assist from Mamadou Fall. However, it was Victor Hugo Gomes Silva’s decisive goal in the 91st minute that sealed the win for the away side, demonstrating Goztepe’s ability to turn tight matches in their favor.

Both teams displayed a balanced offensive approach, with an equal number of shots on target (five each). However, Kasimpasa's lack of precision was evident, given their 13 shots off target against Goztepe's nine. This inefficiency in front of goal proved costly, as they failed to convert crucial opportunities. Goztepe's defensive discipline, despite committing 20 fouls, managed to contain the home team’s threats, emphasizing their strategic approach to disrupt Kasimpasa’s rhythm.

Goztepe’s defense was put to the test, particularly in the disciplined use of substitutions and management of yellow cards. Two key players, Furkan Bayir and Taha Altikardes, were cautioned but managed to maintain composure, helping to prevent further disciplinary issues. Kasimpasa’s failure to draw any yellow cards indicates a more cautious gameplay, yet this did not translate into an advantage, as their offensive inefficacy coupled with Goztepe’s tactical interventions ultimately decided the match outcome.
