Başakşehir vs Kasımpaşa

Başakşehir had to settle for a point after Kasımpaşa fought back to earn a 1-1 draw at the Fatih Terim Stadium on Sunday, 30 August 2026. The hosts controlled most of the ball, dominating possession at 65% to 35%, and looked well on top after taking a first-half lead that held up until the break. Umut Güneş was the driving force behind that dominance, pulling the strings for the home side and picking up the Man of the Match award with a rating of 7.7. Kasımpaşa had other ideas after the interval, though, and their persistence paid off as they clawed their way back into it despite having less of the ball. The shot count finished level at 12 apiece, but it was the visitors who made theirs count more, getting three on target compared to Başakşehir's two. Corners went the home side's way, 5-3, but it wasn't enough to find a winner. A fair result in the end, even if Başakşehir will feel they let a good chance slip.

Başakşehir and Kasımpaşa drew 1-1 at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way.

Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were.
