Even when Trabzonspor turned up the pressure, the scoreline never changed; Eyüpspor made one of their limited chances count to leave the Black Sea with a priceless away win. The game followed a familiar pattern, with the hosts seeing more of the ball but lacking a cutting edge in the final third.
Trabzonspor tested the opposition goal with five shots, but Eyüpspor’s defence and a five-save display from Şeref Topaloğlu kept the score intact. Kadir Gunduz was the standout for the home side with an 8.3 rating, though even that was not enough to earn a point.
The breakthrough for Eyüpspor came from Durukan İlter. The goal, set up by Taylan Özdemir, allowed the visitors to manage the game with greater control. Despite creating little going forward, Eyüpspor stayed composed and, above all, their defensive organisation repeatedly frustrated Trabzonspor’s attempts to fight back.
The result lifts Eyüpspor to 34 points and up to fifth place. Trabzonspor, meanwhile, remain eighth and once again failed to find the response they were looking for.
