Gaziantep FK came from behind to beat Eyüpspor 2-1, turning up the intensity in the closing stages to seal the win. The visitors had more of the ball and produced more shots, but the home side read the game better when it mattered and stayed sharper in the key moments.
The turning point of the match was Süleyman Urhan’s brace. For Gaziantep FK, the link-up play through Tunahan Karaman, the contribution of Baran Öztürkçe and Urhan’s finishing proved decisive. On the Eyüpspor side, Taylan Özdemir levelled the score, while the move created by Durukan İlter was one of the moments that kept the visitors in the contest.
The statistics showed this was no one-sided affair. Eyüpspor registered more shots, while Gaziantep FK created less but kept their defensive shape and were more dangerous in transition. Both teams made eight tackles apiece, underlining how physical the contest was; even so, Gaziantep FK’s two clear chances from a crowded defence decided the game.
With this victory, Gaziantep FK moved up from 7th to 5th. Eyüpspor, meanwhile, slipped from 5th to 7th and failed to hold onto their place near the top.
