Gaziantep FK left Samsunspor with a 4-1 win in a game that had no shortage of goals, producing one of the standout results of the week. The visitors created fewer chances but made theirs count, with their sharp finishing and composure inside the box proving decisive.
Samsunspor looked to have more of the ball at times, but that dominance never translated onto the scoreboard. Esad Kaan Gümüs’ goal kept the hosts in it, yet Gaziantep FK underlined the night with Hasan Ozel’s brace, while Baran Öztürkçe added a goal and an assist to cap a convincing display. The attacks crafted by Cristian Bucur and Burak Akyaman also highlighted the visitors’ variety going forward.
Another key factor was Gaziantep FK’s ability to shut down space behind the defence, while goalkeeper Mehmet Can Güneş kept them in the contest with a string of important saves. Serkan Mert’s assist for Samsunspor kept their hopes alive, but the home side never found the late momentum needed to force a comeback. As a result, Samsunspor could not hold onto their place near the top and slipped from third to fifth, while Gaziantep FK climbed from ninth to seventh.
