Göztepe vs Gaziantep FK

Gaziantep FK put this one to bed long before half-time, storming into a 4-0 lead at Gursel Aksel Stadium and leaving Göztepe with a mountain to climb. Whatever the home side had planned simply never got going, and by the break the game already looked beyond them. Monday night's Süper Lig clash finished 2-4, with Göztepe managing a couple of second-half replies that made the scoreboard look a little more respectable without ever threatening a real comeback. For the home crowd it was a tough watch, the kind of result that raises questions about how a side can fall so far behind so quickly on their own patch. Gaziantep FK, by contrast, will take real confidence from the way they controlled the opening exchanges and made it count. Göztepe's late fightback offers a bit of shape to build on, but the damage was done in that first 45, and results like this one tend to stick in the memory for the wrong reasons.

Gaziantep FK beat Göztepe 2-4 at Gursel Aksel Stadium, and the numbers from the match back up how the game played out. Even without the extra share of possession, which finished 49% in favour of Göztepe, Gaziantep FK made the most of the chances that mattered and did enough to see the game out. The shot count told a similar story, with 18 attempts from Göztepe against 13 from Gaziantep FK over the course of the game. Göztepe 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.
