The TEFL Week 4 clash between Kocaelispor and Antalyaspor ended with a narrow scoreline, but one that carried real weight. The home side allowed their opponents some space at times, yet when they were at their most organised they found a way through and came away with a 2-1 win.
Kocaelispor’s two attacking moves at key moments proved decisive. Selim Aydinoz and Jordan Sigrand both found the net, while assists from Sefa Aydinoz and Furkan Aydinoz showed the home side shared the creative burden. For Antalyaspor, Hüseyin Karaduman’s goal and the chance created by İlkercan Mirza were not enough to spark a comeback.
The standout performer on the night was Stéphane Picard in defence. Named man of the match with an 8.3 rating, Picard was one of the key figures keeping Kocaelispor’s back line in shape. It was notable that Kocaelispor managed only three shots in total, but they made the most of the few chances they created.
With this result, Kocaelispor moved up to 7 points and climbed from 7th to 5th place. Antalyaspor remained on 3 points and could not escape the lower reaches of the table.
