In TEFL Week 16, Kasımpaşa came through a tight contest against Fenerbahçe Espor in a match defined by very few clear chances. The home side backed up its defensive discipline with a clean sheet and left the pitch with a 1-0 win.
The decisive moment came when Mehdi Çelik set up the chance that Muhammedaziz Kahraman finished to put Kasımpaşa in front. That goal also shaped the rest of the game: Fenerbahçe Espor had more of the ball, but could not turn possession into the same quality in the final third.
One of Kasımpaşa’s standout performers was Mehdi Çelik. He caught the eye not only with the assist, but also with his composed all-round display, while his work without the ball helped lift his team’s resistance. Emre Yüksel’s three saves also played a key role in preserving the home side’s lead.
For Fenerbahçe Espor, plenty of passes ultimately amounted to an advantage that never showed on the scoreboard. The visitors pushed harder in the closing stages, but could not break down Kasımpaşa’s compact shape. With this result, Kasımpaşa moved up to 10 points and climbed to 15th, while Fenerbahçe Espor slipped to sixth.
