The scoreboard started ticking over early in Konya, but by the final whistle it was Gaziantep FK who had the game under control. The visitors put Konyaspor under sustained pressure with their variety in attack and high tempo, and came away with a convincing 5-2 win.
The standout performer on the night was undoubtedly Hasan Ozel. His hat-trick shaped the match, but he was not the only one to make a major impact on Gaziantep FK’s attack: Baran Öztürkçe and Tunahan Karaman both scored and assisted a goal apiece. Fatih Köker also played his part in the visitors’ impressive output.
For Konyaspor, Dwayne Dunne’s two goals were not enough to keep them in the contest. The home side responded at times, but Gaziantep FK looked the more balanced team and created more chances, which helped them pull away. Oğuz Cengiz’s assist for Konyaspor provided a brief reply, but it did little to halt the visitors’ momentum.
With this result, Gaziantep FK held on to seventh place and moved on to 25 points. Konyaspor remained 16th, with the pressure near the bottom of the table increasing further.
