Menemen beat Ankaraspor 3:0 in the 2. Lig White Group on Saturday, September 19th, 2026. The hosts put three goals past their visitors in a match that settled both sides back into the middle of the table. It was a result both teams needed after mixed starts to the campaign.
F. Arslan opened the scoring in the 20th minute, and here's the thing — Menemen looked comfortable from that point on. E. Poyraz added a second in the 57th, and O. Okte sealed it with the third just five minutes later. By then, Ankaraspor had little to show for their attacking numbers.
The statistics tell a curious story. Ankaraspor had more attacks — 149 to 137 — and yet came up empty. Menemen managed one corner while their opponents registered none. There is no value left at that number when it comes to corners, and Ankaraspor produced nothing. Menemen also picked up six yellow cards against four for the visitors, suggesting a match that grew edgy.
Both sides sit level on three points after three games, with identical records of one win, no draws, and two defeats. Menemen sit tenth, Ankaraspor eleventh — a gap of one place that means very little at this stage. The hosts had come off a heavy 0:4 defeat to Muş Menderespor, so this win ended a barren spell in convincing fashion.
Ankaraspor had won 2:1 against Erbaaspor in their previous outing, but that victory carried no momentum here. They went behind twice in quick succession and simply could not find a way back. Three goals conceded without reply is not a reflection of a team having a good day — it is a reflection of a team that could not respond.
