Bandırmaspor ran through Boluspor 6-0 in the sixth round of the 1. Liga at the 17 June Stadium on a Saturday afternoon. The hosts had struggled for form, drawing three of their previous five games and losing just once, while Boluspor were already winless after six matches.
By then, the match was already decided in the opening exchanges. Twenty minutes in, Gianni Bruno made it two from a move that looked simple on paper. And here's the thing — Boluspor's defensive shape had barely shifted from the previous season, and they paid for that stubbornness immediately.
Amidou Badji opened the scoring at sixteen, then added his second at thirty-three before Bruno struck again at twenty-four. Tosin Kehinde made it four at thirty-seven, and the visitors had gone forty-seven minutes without a shot on target. The crowd roared them on as the deficit grew.
At half-time, Boluspor threw five changes at the problem — Angelo Tafa, Rodrigo Rivas González, Juan Argüello, Elvin Yunuszade, Fernando Escobar all came on in quick succession. Kehinde made it five at seventy-nine, and Bruno was withdrawn at sixty-three after his brace.
The statistics told the story without embellishment. Bandırmaspor had 60 per cent possession and 13 shots on target from 112 attacks, while Boluspor managed just four shots on target from 58 attacks. The hosts completed 398 passes against 236 for the visitors, with 16 fouls drawn compared to the visitors' nine.
The result leaves Bandırmaspor sixth with nine points from six games, while Boluspor remain bottom with zero points and six defeats. They have the deeper squad advantage going forward, but for now the table goes out of the window in these games — Boluspor are simply waiting for something to happen.
