Çaykur Rizespor had the final say in their clash with Eyüpspor. The Black Sea side came away with a 3-1 win, thanks to fluent attacking play and a more balanced display on both sides of the ball. The result strengthens Çaykur Rizespor’s place near the top of the table, while Eyüpspor were unable to find the rhythm they wanted at home.
One of the key figures in the match was Burak Kaya. With direct involvement in two goals, Burak Kaya stood out as the player driving Rizespor’s attacking flow. Goals from Onur Akbaş, Yekta Furkan Gürsoy and Atahan Dönmez meant the visitors found the net through different scorers, while Toby Prescott’s effort for Eyüpspor was not enough to spark a comeback.
In a spell where both teams occasionally left gaps at the back, Çaykur Rizespor’s sharper finishing made the difference. Doğukan Kemük kept Eyüpspor in it with six saves, preventing the margin from becoming even wider. Eyüpspor managed just 6 shots, while Rizespor looked the more dangerous side with 8.
With this win, Çaykur Rizespor held on to fourth place and moved on to 42 points. Eyüpspor finished the week in sixth.
