The contest between Kasımpaşa and Kayserispor was played at a low tempo, but it turned into a more physical affair in the closing stages, with the visitors leaving the pitch with a 1-0 win. Kayserispor made the most of the few chances they created on the night, while Kasımpaşa struggled for cutting edge despite seeing more of the ball.
The decisive moment came through Tommy Kittelsen’s goal. Set up by Jon Melby, it gave Kayserispor both the lead and the chance to manage the rest of the game more comfortably. Emre Eymur’s three saves were also a quiet but crucial part of the victory.
For Kasımpaşa, 12 tackles and three saves showed plenty of defensive resistance, but they could not match that effort in attack. The home side finished the match with just three shots and never found the clarity needed to change the scoreline. Kayserispor, meanwhile, needed only six shots to get the job done and left Istanbul with all three points.
With this result, Kayserispor moved above one of their rivals near the bottom, climbing from 15th to 13th place. Kasımpaşa dropped to 14th.
