Manisa Women secured a narrow 33-31 victory over hosts Üsküdar BSK in the Super League on Saturday. The result leaves both sides with one game played, though the table positions reflect different starts to the campaign.
Üsküdar BSK entered the fixture sitting sixth, having drawn their opening match without accumulating points. Manisa occupied third place with two points from a single victory, carrying momentum into this away encounter.
The hosts had shown resilience in recent outings, drawing with Bursa BB and securing wins against lower-ranked opponents. However, this match demanded more than their previous performances could deliver.
Manisa ground out the win in what proved to be a closely contested affair. The two-point margin suggests neither side pulled away decisively throughout the contest.
The result shifts the early standings slightly, with Manisa maintaining their third-place standing while Üsküdar drop further down the table. The line has barely moved in the league hierarchy, but the gap between these two sides widens after just one round of fixtures.
