Trabzonspor slip to 19th after Kasımpaşa stalemate

Trabzonspor ended their three-match losing streak but could not find the win they were looking for against Kasımpaşa. Their Matchweek 4 fixture finished goalless, with Trabzonspor failing to record a shot throughout the match. Kasımpaşa tested the opposition goal with four shots, while their goalkeeper made three saves to keep a clean sheet.

Kasımpaşa also stood out in the passing stats, recording 60 passes to Trabzonspor’s 16. That advantage did not translate onto the scoreboard, however, and neither side found the net. Kasımpaşa midfielder Younes Khaled was one of the standout performers, earning an 8.8 rating as part of the side that kept a clean sheet.

Before this match, Trabzonspor had suffered successive defeats to Galatasaray Espor, Rams Başakşehir FK and Beşiktaş Esports. The draw earned them their first point, but they slipped from 18th to 19th. Kasımpaşa had drawn their first two matches of the season before losing to Galatasaray Espor. Their point away to Trabzonspor brought them to three draws and kept them in 16th place.

The goalless draw brought Trabzonspor’s losing run to an end but also exposed their lack of attacking threat. Kasımpaşa had more shots and passes, but could not turn that advantage into three points.

Trabzonspor starting XI: Burak Demirci, Seyit Yılmaz, Tufan Melih Oynak, Ömer Faruk Başak, Sercan Menekşe, Alen Cener, Oktay Karavin, Batuhan Demiray, Kaan Yağmur, Eren Çelikbilek, Gökhan Kantaş
