Iskenderunspor AS secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Hatayspor in the Turkish Cup clash. The decisive goal came from Iskenderunspor in the first half at the 42:33 mark, showcasing their ability to capitalize on key moments. The goal was a result of effective teamwork in the midfielder's build-up play, slipping through Hatayspor's defensive lines. Despite being outperformed in corner kicks, with only 3 compared to Hatayspor's 6, Iskenderunspor's defensive setup ensured they maintained their lead throughout the match.

Discipline played a crucial role in this encounter, with both teams repeatedly clashing and accumulating yellow cards. Iskenderunspor received four yellow cards, just edging Hatayspor's count of three. The high foul count — 12 for the home team and 13 for the visitors — indicated a tightly contested match where neither side could afford complacency. Hatayspor's aggressive pressing and attempts to break through were evident but perhaps too hastily executed, given the resultant fouls and cards.

The balance in offsides at three apiece for both teams highlights their eagerness to break the deadlock and stretch defenses. However, Hatayspor failed to convert their chances, reflected in the absence of goals. The away team's struggle to penetrate Iskenderunspor's defense, especially in the final third, proved decisive. Iskenderunspor's composure in goalkeeping and the defensive line managed to nullify the threat, ultimately securing their progression in the competition.
