Match report
Mardin BB and Van BB share points in hard-fought draw
Mardin BB and Van BB played out a 1-1 draw in the 1. The hosts took the lead in the sixtieth minute when Olarenwaju Kayode struck, but Van BB equalised deep into stoppage time through Mehmed Manis. The result leaves Mardin BB four points clear at the top of the table, while Van BB remain in twelfth place.
The opening exchanges were cagey, though the turning point came at the hour mark. Kayode found space and fired home for Mardin BB, and by then the visitors looked rattled. Van BB pushed for an equaliser and eventually picked up a late point when Manis latched onto a loose ball in the ninety-third minute.
The match grew increasingly physical as it wore on. Mustafa Sengul picked up two bookings in five minutes before the referee showed him a red card on ninety-two minutes — one mistake ends it for the host captain. Özkan Yigiter and Đorđe Denić also went off on yellow cards, while Van BB saw Naby Oulare and Đorđe Denić cautioned.
Mardin BB dominated possession and created more chances, but the statistics tell a story of missed opportunities. They registered five shots on target alongside ten off target, yet only converted one. Van BB kept their goalkeeper busy and made four saves, though their own shooting accuracy of thirteen per cent meant they rarely threatened until the final moments.
The draw extends Mardin BB's unbeaten run to four games, following victories over Boluspor and Antalyaspor. Van BB's form has been inconsistent, with defeats to Manisa and Kayserispor breaking up an earlier streak. The hosts now sit eight points from the bottom, while the visitors have four points after four matches.
