Çorum FK dominated possession and territory at home but couldn't find a way past Kasımpaşa's defence, falling to a 0-1 defeat. The hosts controlled the ball for large stretches and peppered the visiting goal with corners, earning seven set-piece opportunities to Kasımpaşa's none. Despite 16 shots across the match, only two found the target. Gökhan Sazdağı was outstanding in the Çorum midfield, earning the official Man of the Match award, but even his performance couldn't inspire a breakthrough. It was one of those frustrating afternoons where the numbers didn't match the result. Kasımpaşa were clinical when it mattered, sneaking ahead before half-time and then soaking up wave after wave of Çorum pressure. The visitors' solitary goal proved enough to secure the three points, a painful reminder that dominating a match counts for nothing without an end product.
The Matchup
Kasımpaşa beat Çorum FK 0-1 at Corum Stadyumu, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 75% in favour of Çorum FK, Kasımpaşa made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 16 attempts from Çorum FK against 6 from Kasımpaşa over the course of the game. Çorum FK had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day. Small margins like this one tend to add up over a season, and results such as this are often what separates teams in the table further down the line. Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
