Konyaspor 1:2 Kocaelispor FK: Süper Lig Match Result

Match report

Kocaelispor secured a 2-1 victory over Konjyaspor at the Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Stadium on Friday evening. The result keeps the visitors in third place while the hosts remain rooted at the bottom of the Süper Lig table. Three matches into the season, the gap between the two sides tells its own story.

The opening exchanges were cagey, with both sides feeling each other out. Mahamadou Susoho picked up a yellow card for Kocaelispor after 10 minutes, followed moments later by Selçuk İnan for the hosts. The first real breakthrough came in the 39th minute when Tangi Zoukrou turned on his own net, giving Konjyaspor a lucky lead.

Enis Bardhi saw red for Konjyaspor just twelve minutes after the restart, leaving the hosts to finish with ten men. Kocaelispor pressed forward but it took until the 72nd minute for Massadie Haidara to equalise. The visitors then found a winner through Murat Altunbas in the 86th minute, ground out the win despite playing most of the second half with a man advantage.

The statistics tell an interesting tale. Kocaelispor dominated possession at 56 per cent and registered 108 attacks compared to 71 for the hosts. They managed seven shots on target against nine off target for Konjyaspor, who failed to find the back of the net with any of their efforts. Expected goals figures showed 0.76 for the visitors and 0.85 for the hosts, though the disparity between chances created and results speaks volumes.

This result leaves Konjyaspor still searching for their first point of the campaign. Kocaelispor move closer to the top four with their second win from three outings. The table goes out of the window in these games, but form tends to matter eventually.
