Sefa Aydinoz brace lifts Kocaelispor in Istanbul

In the 21st week of TEFL, Kocaelispor came away from their trip to Fenerbahçe Espor with a 3-2 win. The yellow-and-navy side found the breakthrough but could not keep control of the game, while Kocaelispor turned the match around through attacking moves led by Sefa Aydinoz.

For the visitors, Sefa Aydinoz was the standout with two goals, while Angelo Lombardi also got on the scoresheet and unsettled Fenerbahçe’s defence. Two separate assists from Matthieu Decoene and Selim Aydinoz underlined Kocaelispor’s attacking variety. Despite scoring twice at home, Fenerbahçe’s effort was not enough to earn a point.

For Fenerbahçe Espor, the result also brought the week’s most painful blow: with this defeat, the team dropped from 4th to 6th place. Kocaelispor, meanwhile, added an important three points away from home despite their inconsistent recent form.

The numbers also backed up the flow of the game. Kocaelispor looked the more organised side with 162 passes and 13 tackles, which helped them take control, especially after the break. Fenerbahçe had their moments in attack, but defensive lapses in transition proved decisive.
