Sivasspor’s defensive resilience proved decisive against Fenerbahçe Espor’s attacking threat. The hosts kept a clean sheet and scored twice, with Saday Alakbarov playing a key role in their defensive effort by making six saves.
Fenerbahçe Espor enjoyed more possession and completed 165 passes, but could not break down Sivasspor’s compact defence. The visitors managed eight shots, while the hosts posed more of a threat with 11. Fenerbahçe’s goalkeeper was forced into seven saves, underlining the chances Sivasspor created; the difference was that the hosts made theirs count.
Şerif Gümüşoğlu and Tuğrul Aydoğar each scored to settle the match. Tuğrul, a centre-back, also kept a clean sheet, rounding off a strong all-round performance from Sivasspor. Onur Nuri Çoban added an assist. Emir Güney’s 9.7 rating stood out in the Fenerbahçe Espor defence, but it was not enough to prevent defeat.
After opening the season with two wins, Sivasspor climbed from seventh to second and moved onto six points. Fenerbahçe Espor, who had beaten MKE Ankaragücü 5-0 in their previous match, suffered their first defeat and dropped from top spot to 10th.
