I negol Kavuz Genclik put four past Kastamonuspor 1966 in the 2. Lig White Group on Saturday, a result that leaves the home side four points clear of the bottom. The match unfolded with a rhythm few expected given where both teams sat in the table. And here's the thing — you could see the difference in their recent form long before the first whistle.
B. Dogrukiran opened the scoring in the 31st minute from the spot, then M. Caliskan added a second just after the hour mark. That should have been enough to settle matters, but Dogrukiran refused to go away. He found the net again in the 71st and 77th minutes, completing a hat-trick that left the visitors' defence running on empty.
To be fair, Kastamonuspor had something to show for their efforts. D. Inci pulled one back with a penalty in the 86th minute, but by then the contest was already decided. The away side had lost twice and drawn nothing in three games, and this defeat kept them rooted to the foot of the table.
The home side's record now reads three matches, one win, one draw, one loss — four points on the board. They come off a 1-1 draw with Aksaray Belediyespor last time out, after a heavy 1-3 defeat to Somaspor. Not bad recovery, considering where they'd been.
Kastamonuspor's run is another matter entirely. They beat Hatayspor 1-0 last weekend, but before that came a 0-3 loss to Aksaray and a 0-5 hammering from Çorluspor 1947. Three games without a point and they're already looking at a long season.
What stood out was how I negol controlled the tempo. They camped in the final third, worked their chances, and when the game opened up they made sure to punish every mistake. Four goals from five attempts at goal — it's not a masterclass in efficiency, but it's enough to keep them moving.
