On a night when Tommy Kittelsen stole the show with a brace, Kayserispor left Antalyaspor with a 3-1 win. Despite having fewer shots, the visitors were sharper in attack and finished the week with a valuable three points.
Abdullah Kerem Bulanık was on target for Antalyaspor and kept his side in the game for long spells. But the hosts could not turn their possession into enough goals, while Jon Melby’s strike and Alican Özdemir’s assist swung the balance in Kayserispor’s favour.
